Teenagers can stake attacking claim
The 24-year-old attacking midfielder, an ever-present in the European Championships and Champions Challenge, withdrew from the programme in the past few weeks, just prior to the panel resuming full training mode.
With Jean McDonnell also omitted from the selection, it has opened the door for teenagers Deirdre Duke and Gillian Pinder to possibly stake a claim for a place due to the reduction inforward options in the latest selection. They, along with Leah Ewart, have been added to the panel on a probation basis. Goalkeeper Louisa Healy, meanwhile, is available after two years out in which she focused on increasing her standing in the Gardaí.
