'I know I can rely on Seamus' - Mick McCarthy has compete faith in captain
Mick McCarthy insists that Seamus Coleman will retain his place in the Irish side — and the captaincy — regardless of his varying fortunes at Everton this season.
The Ireland manager has also revealed that striker Daryl Murphy has not ruled out a reversal of his decision to retire from international football while, in a further bid to improve the team’s goal-scoring options, McCarthy has spoken with Leeds striker Patrick Bamford who has agreed to meet the manager for discussions about declaring for Ireland.
