## Resource

Young Arsenal star Ceadach O’Neill has pulled out of the Northern Ireland squad due to injury, halting any immediate decision on his international future — a move that could have locked him into three years with Northern Ireland or even permanent eligibility if he’d played in upcoming matches. Though he hasn’t signaled any desire to switch to the Republic of Ireland — in fact, he celebrated his senior caps just months ago — the FAI’s push to attract more talent adds pressure. Northern Ireland manager Michael O’Neill voiced frustration over lacking “bloodline” ties, but his comments about the player’s identity sparked debate, raising questions about personal choice and belonging in a post-Good Friday Agreement society.
