Ireland’s Under-17s will take on hosts Hungary, Poland and Wales in next month’s European Under-17 Championships.
Colin O’Brien’s side were seeded in Pot 1 after they topped their qualification group ahead of Italy.
The tournament will take place from May 17 to June 2, 2023, and will also act as UEFA's qualifier for the 2023 FIFA Under-17 World Cup.

The four semi-finalists and the winner of a play-off between the two beaten quarter-finalists with the best group stage record will decide who progresses to the November tournament.
It was due to be staged in Peru, but FIFA yesterday stripped the South American nation of hosting rights due to uncompleted infrastructure.
Ireland boss O’Brien said: “It's an exciting time for the players. This tournament is a great platform for the players to showcase their ability and to do so against top opposition.
“The group is competitive and we'll be up against opponents who, like us, have come through two tough qualification rounds to be in the finals - all teams are here on merit.
“We're looking forward to it and we can now prepare for our opening game on May 17 against Poland.”
DATES: Ireland v Poland (Wednesday May 17), Ireland v Wales (Saturday May 20), Ireland v Hungary (Tuesday May 23).
