A driver in his early 50?s died when his car hit a wall in Kildaree, Williamstown in Co Galway on Sunday morning.

It is understood the car was travelling to Sunday's Bus Éireann Women's National League fixture against Shamrock Rovers.

John Delaney, chief executive of the FAI, said he was 'deeply saddened' at this 'tragic loss'.

"I had enormous personal regard for Jeremy's wide ranging contribution to the Irish football family," Mr Delaney said.

"He represented all that is good about volunteerism and is an enormous loss to the development of women's football, particularly in the west of Ireland.

"He always had a positive attitude and would light up any room with his enthusiasm and smile. I take this opportunity to offer my sincere condolences to his family."

The match was cancelled as news of the accident filtered through to Tallaght Stadium.
