Irish Under-18 manager Maurice Price has named his panel of 16 players for the UEFA Youth Championship finals which take place next week in France and Luxembourg.

Ian Harte, who suffered a groin strain in training recently, misses the trip and the Leeds United player is replaced in the squad by Tottenham Hotspur's Alan Mannix.

The team kick off their championships against Italy next Tuesday evening while their other opponents at the group stage will be Spain and England who they will face on Thursday and Saturday respectively.
