Jack Byrne's recent form has been rewarded with a recall to the Republic of Ireland squad for the upcoming Euro 2020 play-off against Slovakia and the Nations League games that follow against Wales and Finland.

The Shamrock Rovers playmaker was a notable absentee from Stephen Kenny's first panel which came together for the new manager's fixtures against Bulgaria in Sofia and Finland at the Aviva Stadium.
