The Leinster prop took some criticism on social media.

Irish international Cian Healy has apologised for the "ignorance on my part" after he sent a tweet which offended supporters of the Repeal the 8th movement. You may remember the news that we brought you a few days ago regarding the removal of Maser's Repeal the 8th mural that was visible on the side of Temple Bar's Project Arts Centre. Project Arts Centre released a statement detailing their decision to remove the mural "after receiving a warning notice from Dublin City Council Planning Department that the work is in violation of the Planning & Development Acts." Last night, Healy sent this tweet - which he has since deleted - which many people found to be insensitive. healy HealyTweets The Leinster prop has since moved to clear up the issue. https://twitter.com/ProperChurch/status/758236511355756544 https://twitter.com/ProperChurch/status/758236808568332288
