Citys Shane Long has been called up by Ireland. See here (http://www.eleven-a-side.com/boysingreen/irish_soccer_detail.asp?newsid=15577)
Only seen him couple of times with u-21s last season but he definitely impressed. In both semi & final IMO he overshaddowed Behan. City could do a lot worse than look to offer him fulltime contract before foreign club snap him up nopw he in Ireland squad shop window.

Three actually, 2 UCD players too. Still a terribly small number at that age. :(
in fairness, I imagine the fact that eL clubs are out of season has something to do with that lads- just like the U21 situation

According to SoccerCentral.ie (http://www.soccercentral.ie/viewstory.asp?id=14522&mainheading=Other&viewstory=yes) Shane replaced Reading's Jonathan Hayes for the final 20 minutes or so during Irelands 0-2 win over Italy in the second of two games.
Indeed the Irish could have made 3 – 0 nil three minutes from time when substitute Shane Long of Cork City had a diving header come off a post.
Good to see him get a game. 2-0 versus the Italians is very impressive
