Ireland U19 manager Tom Mohan insists Belfast boy Sean Moore has no hesitation in committing to the Republic cause.

The 17-year-old Cliftonville attacker had only represented Northern Ireland at U18 level – a non-competitive grade when it comes to Fifa’s eligibility rule – and snubbed the Irish FA to accept an invitation for the upcoming U19 qualifiers that Ireland hosts in the south-east.
