Ireland boss Peter McGrath will announce his squad on Monday

Armagh and Tyrone both have two players with Philip Loughran and Steven McDonnell joined by Sean Cavanagh and Brian McGuigan.

Down's Benny Coulter and Derry's Sean Marty Lockhart are also included.

Fermanagh don't have anybody in the panel although Martin McGrath is on a stand-by list on four players.

Indeed, McGrath must have a good chance of earning a call-up as Tomas O Se is certain to drop out of the squad after sustaining a broken jaw in a club game at the weekend.

O Se sustained the injury after getting caught up a ugly brawl during Saturday's county quarter-final between his club An Gaeltacht and Listowel.

The Kingdom star spent Saturday night in Kerry General Hospital.

O Se's expected withdrawal will leave Eoin Brosnan and Paul Galvin as the only Kerry players in the Irish squad.

The stand-by list of four players also includes Down goalkeeper Michael McVeigh.

Both the O hAilpin brothers Sean Og and Setanta are named.

Setanta switched codes from intercountry hurling last year to play for the Carlton Australian Rules outfit in Melbourne.

The Irish squad also includes Kerryman Tadgh Kennelly who plays Australian Rules for the Sydney Swans.

Dublin and beaten All Ireland finalists Mayo both supply three players each.

Fourteen counties are represented and a total of 13 of the squad have yet to play for Ireland in the International Rules series.

They are: Brian Cullen, Alan Brogan, Philip Loughran, Eoin Brosnan, Paul Galvin, Setanta O hAilpin, Sean Og O hAilpin, Kieran McDonald, David Heaney, Declan Browne, Mattie Forde, Brian McGuigan and Sean Cavanagh.

Of the remaining thirteen, Sean Marty Lockhart and Ciaran McManus Offaly have each played for Ireland on 10 occasions while skipper Joyce has featured seven times for his country.

Lockhart and James Nallen are the only survivors from the 1998 series when the International Rules test games were revived after an eight-year lapse.

The first Test takes place at Croke Park on Sunday with the second and decisive encounter at the Dublin venue on 24 October.

Ulster players who failed to make the squad after being named in the provisional panel of 40 are Fergal Doherty (Derry), Enda Muldoon (Derry), Barry Owens (Fermanagh), Ryan McMenamin (Tyrone) and Stephen O'Neill (Tyrone) while Philip Jordan (Tyrone) wasn't considered because of injury.
