Many tributes have been paid to Róisín Cryan, fiancé of Mayo football star Conor Loftus, after she passed away tragically over the weekend.

The 28-year-old’s body was recovered from the River Moy in Ballina on Saturday morning. The tragedy led to the postponement of the All-Ireland club IFC final between Loftus’ Crossmolina Deel Rovers and Ballinderry, which was due to be played in Croke Park yesterday.

In a statement posted on X, Crossmolina said: “@DeelRoversGAA are devastated at the news of the tragic incident that has occurred.

“Our heartfelt thoughts are with the family and friends at this difficult time.”

Róisín’s local club in Leitrim, Shannon Gaels, said: "On behalf of the entire Shannon Gaels GAA community, we extend our deepest condolences to the Cryan family and loved ones of Róisín.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this incredibly difficult time. May you find strength and comfort in each other, and know that we stand with you in your grief’’.

Róisín is survived by her parents Joe and Marguerite, fiancé Conor Loftus, sisters Annmarie, Clare, Ruth and Maeve. Her remains will repose at The Heritage Centre, Chapel of Rest, Church Lane in Carrick-on-Shannon today from 3pm to 7pm.

Removal to St Mary's Church will take place on Tuesday evening, arriving at 6pm. Mass of Christian burial will be held on Wednesday at 11am, followed by burial in Drumlion Cemetery.
