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.
The Leinster prop has since moved to clear up the issue.
Sorry for any offence caused. no political slamming on my part, nor none intended. But cheers for your lovely messages 👍

Ignorance on my part to what the "blue wall" was. Merely reacted to seeing it all over my timeline.
