Tributes are being paid this morning to Midwest Radio’s soccer editor Jeremy Dee, who died in a road accident in Co Galway yesterday.

Jeremy was part of the management of the Castlebar Celtic Women’s team for a number of years, and was travelling to a match they were due to play against Shamrock Rovers at Tallaght Stadium yesterday when the car he was driving hit a wall at Kildaree, Williamstown, between Cloonfad and Williamstown, shortly after 9 am.

He was later pronounced dead at Mayo General Hospital.

Mr Dee who’s from Bekan and was in his early 50’s, had worked as a supervisor with FAS in Milebush Park in Castlebar for the past number of years.
