Lost Youth

Sorry if this has been covered before, but I was just wondering after reading the last paragraph of this article:
http://www.teamtalk.com/football/story/0,16368,2483_3742933,00.html

In the last 2 weeks I've happen to read about these ones:
Aaron Doran (17) Blackburn Rovers
Gavin Houlihan (17) Hull City
Lee Jay Lynch (16) WBA

How many Irish youngsters at 16/17 actually go over to England each year to try their luck? (not including trials)

Would be interesting to see stats on players who go over,how many come back and whether they sign for EL clubs or give it up altogether(at senior level).

hull city also signed darragh satelle this summer.
