Denise O’Sullivan accuses FAI of ‘lacking class’ over Colin Healy’s acrimonious exit as Ireland assistant
DENISE O’Sullivan has again hit out at the FAI over the nature of Colin Healy’s exit from the Ireland women’s team set-up.
In December she had first voiced her frustration with a role at the Association not being found for him after the Eileen Gleeson/Healy coaching ticket wasn’t kept in place.
Since then Healy himself has stated he will lodge a formal complaint with the FAI over his time there being terminated.
Healy claimed that he was told by FAI Chief Football Officer Marc Canham that he would recommend to the board that he be offered a contract extension a month before it was announced that an entirely new staff would be taking charge.
That was at a time when Healy had been offered the post at Cobh Ramblers, a role he ultimately turned down to stay working with Ireland.
The former Sunderland midfielder had also mentioned how he considered his options over Christmas after a difficult year when his wife Kelly sadly passed away.
O’Sullivan, has again spoken up in defence of her fellow Cork native’s ability as a coach along with the esteem he’s regarded in as a person among the entire Irish squad.
She explained to Irish Football Fan TV: “Coaches being let go, that’s normal, it’s part of the game.
“But I think it was the manner it was done in, I think it was disrespectful. I think it lacked class, I think it lacked compassion.
“Working with Colin, I don’t have one bad thing to say about him.
“He’s an incredible man, a really excellent coach, but I don’t even want to get into the coaching side because everyone who knows Colin knows how good a coach he is.
“There’s a way to do things and there’s a way to treat people and it wasn’t the right thing to do.
“I’m really disappointed it happened the way it did.”
She added: “I love playing for Ireland but I think this is a step backwards.
“It left a bad taste in my mouth, the way that happened.
“It’s not about them letting a coach go, that happens in football, but there is a manner in the way you treat people and I think it could have been done very, very differently.
“He’s a great man. He was dedicated in the whole of last year to the national team, with the challenges he faced as a person in his life, it’s a person’s welfare.
“It affects their family and when that happens I need to speak about it.
“I can’t just stay quiet and that’s why I have voiced my opinion on that.
“I would be disappointed in myself if I didn’t speak up. It was handled really poorly in my opinion.”
Amid the shadow continuing to loom over the WNT, new boss Carla Ward will oversee her first games in charge later this month.
The 41-year-old faces a pair of Nations League fixtures on February 21 and 25 against Turkey and Slovenia respectively.

‘A chilly morning’ as weather bosses pinpoint exact day cold snap to set in amid Met Eireann’s ‘sub-zero’ temp warning
DRY weather is taking a hold over the country over the next few days, but with that is coming some chilly temperatures.
Weather bosses have confirmed that there will be “plenty” of dry weather and sunshine hitting this week.
However, they have warned that along with this, there will be “sub-zero” temperatures also on the way.
This morning has shown this to be true as black ice is appearing in some areas.
Alan O’Reilly from Carlow Weather said: “A chilly morning here in Carlow with some black ice on car.
“Mainly dry today with good sunny spells for most.”
Met Eireann’s Mark Bowe has explained why exactly this type of weather is appearing this week.
He has said that due to the jet stream over the coming days, Ireland’s weather is being strongly influenced and bringing high pressure over the the country.
DRY CONDITIONS
He said: “The weather over the next few days you’ll be glad to hear is going to be fine and dry with plenty of sunshine as well.
“Lots of lovely clear skies during the day to help take the edge off our final month of winter.
“Our good friend the jet stream is playing a major part. It’s running very strong over the next few days and while you may think this is a bad thing, our weather is more influenced by where we are positioned in relation to the jet.”
Mark added that due to this, we can expect dry weather and sunshine to peak through.
He continued: “So staying on the southeastern flank of a strong jet will result in high pressure building over you and thankfully for the next three days, that’s exactly where we are.
“With high pressure in charge now to finish out the week, we can expect plenty of fine and dry weather with good sunshine through the day.
“Naturally coastal parts will see a touch of cloud at times, but this kind of weather should take us into the weekend.”
COLD SNAP ON THE WAY
However, the good stretch of weather is bringing some downfalls as there will also be frost and ice along with low overnight temperatures.
He added: “The only drawback is of course under clear skies at night, the earth loses its natural insulation because remember clouds act like duvets.
“So from tonight onwards we can expect plenty of sub-zero temperatures at night with plenty of frost and icy patches.”
THIS WEEK’S FORECAST
Today will be largely dry and bright with some light winds and temperatures of 7C to 10C, before turning colder overnight and “temperatures will fall quickly after sunset” to lows of 1C to -2C.
Thursday will then see a similar day with temperatures of 6C to 9C as cloud drifts in to Munster and Connacht before temperatures again dropping to -1C to 2C, as well as frost and ice possible.
Friday will then start out cold but dry amid 6C to 9C before dry conditions continue into the night, with temperatures dropping to 0C to -3C.
WEEKEND WEATHER
The weekend will become more cloudy with light rain possible on Saturday evening and colder again with temperatures of 3C to 7C.
Sunday will stay mostly dry with some outbreaks of rain and temperatures rising to 5C to 8C.
