Ireland stars Denise O'Sulllivan and Caitlin Hayes have expressed disappointment at Colin Healy's departure from the WNT setup, with O'Sullivan suggesting the decision not to retain his services lacks common sense.

Former Cork City boss Healy was relieved of his Ireland duties when the FAI decided not to retain Eileen Gleeson as head coach following failure to qualify for next summer's European Championships. Healy was part of Gleeson's backroom team.
