Martin O'Neill has named a provisional 35-man squad for Ireland's upcoming Euro 2016 Group D qualifier against Poland in Dublin.
A mix-up, which saw journalists given a Wes Hoolahan-less squad list at this morning's press conference, was corrected when O'Neill verified that the Norwich man is included for the March 29 fixture at the Aviva Stadium.
Bournemouth's in-form midfielder Harry Arter has also been called up by Ireland for the first time.
O'Neill says it was always his plan to include Hoolahan. Says omission 'a genuine accident'.

“We have reached a very important time in our qualifying campaign," said O'Neill. "I am looking forward to assembling the squad for the first time this year in preparation for this game.”
