Have advocated the resumption of LOI players in Irish training squads in other threads ( there was a time it was commonplace) but agree it should be in right context. Young developing players should be the focus ( to immerse them in professional atmosphere ) and it should be seen as an achievement to get one of these spots, not just filling in as bodies (as Dodge described it).
I seem to recall the old system was two players per squad and think this is about right.
Kinger not up to international management. Delighted for him that he got the chance for two games but delighted for the country that it will be only the two games.
