Under the good friday agreement nordys can have irish or british nationality, so perfectly within their rights to say republic.

So they were born in Ireland?
Dont see a problem so.
We have the same in Scotland. If Pele or Maradonna's great granny was Scottish, we'd give her a game! It's a bit of a joke really!

Yep you can play underage for another country and then change, so until you have played competitively for the national team you have not committed. So a few play for northern ireland youths and then declare for the republic.

at the moment you can play 4 ireland under the rules that if your granny/grandad or great granny were irish you can play 4 them lol also i dont agree with representing one country at youths and another at senior levelunouwantme2: at the moment you can play 4 ireland under the rules that if your granny/grandad or great granny were irish you can play 4 them lol also i dont agree with representing one country at youths and another at senior level
Well if they were born in Ireland I think they have more right to play for the national team than someone who wasnt.
