Town skipper Matt Holland is in Brian Kerr's 23-man squad for a training get-together in Dublin next week. The Irish are meeting up to prepare for two crucial European Championship qualifiers at the beginning of June.

Kerr's side face Albania on June 7th and Georgia on June 11th, both at Lansdowne Road. Holland could well captain the team in those games with Kenny Cunningham recently out with injury. Holland took the armband for Norway's recent visit to Dublin.

Full squad: Given (Newcastle United), Murphy (West Bromwich Albion), Carr (Tottenham Hotspur), Breen (West Ham United), Dunne (Manchester City), Harte (Leeds United), O'Shea (Manchester United), Finnan (Fulham), Cunningham (Birmingham City), O'Brien (Newcastle United), Carsley (Everton), Holland, Kinsella (Aston Villa), Kilbane (Sunderland), McPhail (Leeds United), Quinn (Sheffield Wednesday), Reid (Millwall), Duff (Blackburn Rovers), Connolly (Wimbledon), Lee (Rotherham), Keane (Tottenham Hotspur), Crowe (Bohemians), Doherty (Tottenham Hotspur).
