Jeremy Davidson and Jonny Bell are among seven Ulster players included in a 33-man Ireland squad for a training week in Lanzarote later this month.

Injury has affected the international prospects of the two players over the past year.

However, they will be on the plane which travels to Lanzarote on 15 December.

David Humphreys, Gary Longwell, Tyrone Howe, Neil Doak and Justin Fitzpatrick have also been selected for the trip.

Prop Fitzpatrick returns to the international scene after being on the periphery for a while.

English-based players such as Keith Wood, Kevin Maggs and Geordan Murphy will be unable to make the trip because of their club duties.

David Wallace, who has been out of the Ireland picture this season, will travel while Leinster prop Emmet Byrne has also been selected for the panel.

(Forwards): Shane Byrne, Frank Sheahan, Reggie Corrigan, Marcus Horan, John Hayes, Emmet Byrne, Malcolm O'Kelly, Gary Longwell, Leo Cullen, Paul O'Connell, Anthony Foley, Victor Costello, Keith Gleeson, Alan Quinlan, Eric Miller, David Wallace, Jeremy Davidson, Justin Fitzpatrick.
(Backs): Peter Stringer, Neil Doak, Brian O'Meara, Ronan O'Gara, David Humphreys, Brian O'Driscoll, Rob Henderson, John Kelly, Girvan Dempsey, Denis Hickie, Shane Horgan, Tyrone Howe, Gordon D'Arcy, Jonny Bell, Anthony Horgan.
