Though I suppose the 5 year compulsory education (age 5 to 17) option would include residency.
But then he didn't qualify by residence but through parentage.

You'd have thought so.
Caolan Lavery has popped up with a brace for Sheffield Wednesday against Leeds today (the 5th and 6th of a 6-0 drubbing admittedly).
This is on the back of a loan spell at Plymouth where he bagged 3 goals in 4 starts and 4 substitute appearances.
Looks like he's starting to come good on his potential, at the age of 21. Call him up, Marty!
That won't be happening unfortunately. It's already clear that a Catholic Irishman is going to be reticent about calling up Catholic Irishmen for the Irish national team because he doesn't want to upset the bigots.
2 very good goals by Lavery too. Both individual efforts. First one he went one a great run and threw in a few step-overs and fire it in (by way of deflection) and he capitalised on poor defending for the second, before firing a great shot into the keepers far corner from distance.
What a rancid season it's been for Irish strikers in The Championship.
Best, Madden (now at Scunthorpe), Hunt, Sammon and Keogh not getting any football.
They're all Championship/Div.2 level at best so unsurprising?
And Lavery eligible for 3 teams, hmm.
What makes you say that? Your assertion contrasts with the words of Tony Leen in the Examiner a few months ago.
You've angered Danny now TOWK.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
When your break the first eligibility commandment (thou shalt not mention religion), you got to do the penance.
Kieran Lavery according to BBC.
Second name pronounced Lay-vry by Jeff Stelling and co. also.
I thought I heard a reporter saying Koolan.
Thought McDermott took him out of the team they were in poor form, he wasn't scoring and the fans were on his back, no? Think he tweeted about it himself; that he understood McDermott's decision.
Did hear something about a return from injury recently though.. Maybe he injured himself in training.
In all fairness, we have a habit of butchering the spelling of our own names too like the ancestors of all the Kelley's, O'Neal's, Reardon's and Flanery's in America.

MAHONEY IN FOR ENGLAND
ENGLAND have moved to secure the services of Blackburn Rovers prodigy Connor Mahoney ahead of Ireland by naming him in their U17 squad.
Mahoney made headlines when he was handed his Blackburn debut at the age of 16 in their FA Cup defeat to Manchester City last week, although the midfielder had already played first-team football in League Two for Accrington Stanley.
The Blackburn man is eligible for Ireland through the parentage rule, but England have called him into their U17 squad for two friendlies against Belgium.
FAI scouts are also keeping tabs on Danny Crowley, the 17-year-old who is creating a stir at Arsenal since his move from Aston Villa.
Crowley played for Ireland at U16 level, but has since declared for his native England, though he could be tempted back into the Irish fold.
