Brighton, Bruges and (of course) Celtic are reported to be trying to sign Patrick Casey. Brighton would seem the option, though it would put him straight up against Mark O'Mahony who is a similar age to Casey.
Seems not to be that many Irish players playing for PL2 clubs right now but those that are had a pretty big impact today:

Trent Kone Doherty scored the opener at Old Trafford in Liverpool’s win over United. Think the commentator said it was his 13th of the season, which isn’t a bad total from the wing.
There was also one time where he showed absolutely incredible pace, dribbling past players into space, it only ended up a corner but flashes of excellence.
He’s not far off being ready for a call up to the Ireland u21s if he’s not there already
He has done so well in his 2 seasons at Liverpool even though he missed half of last season with injury. Love how Liverpool have developed him more as a central player rather than purely a wide player. Carvalho, Clark, Doak koumas and kaide gordan are ahead of him as young backup wide attackers for Liverpool so difficult to see how he progresses next season unless most of the above move out on loan.Quote:

I’ve always really liked him since seeing him play for the 18s. I think he’s a bit like Nathan Fraser who was ignored at times and suddenly looks like a huge oversight. I’d also put Cian Coleman of Leeds in the same category.Quote:
