The GAA community across the country is in mourning following the sudden death of Offaly GAA manager Liam Kearns.
Mr Kearns was just 61 years.
The popular figure was from Kerry but managed the likes of Limerick and Tipperary.
He took over from John Maughan in Offaly last autumn.
Offaly GAA released a statement tonight saying is “devastated to learn of the sudden passing this evening of our senior football manager, Liam Kearns.
“In his short period of time as manager of the senior footballers, Liam made a hugely positive impact and he was extremely well respected by everyone associated with Offaly GAA.
“Offaly GAA extend deepest sympathies to his wife Angela and daughters Rachel & Laura. May he rest in peace.”
