Conor Gallagher (Chelsea) is eligible for Ireland (as distinct from potentially eligible). He's in the England u17 squad and came on as a sub in the WC final.
His dad Lee said,
"he qualifies for Ireland as well, but we were very pleased to find out he’d been called up by England for the World Cup"
The use of the "but" could indicate that they would be even more pleased if he was called up by Ireland.
