Peter O'Mahony signs new IRFU contract.
Athy's Joey Carbery has been recalled to the Ireland squad with captain Johnny Sexton remaining a doubt for this weekend’s Six Nations clash with Italy in Rome.
Sexton continues to rehab after suffering a groin injury against Franc.
Carbery has been called up to offer another option at out-half along with Ross Byrne and Jack Crowley.
Ireland head coach Andy Farrell has also added Leinster back row Scott Penny and Ulster lock Kieran Treadwell to his squad.
Meanwhile, Peter O'Mahony has stated his ambition to play at a third Rugby World Cup after signing a new IRFU contract.
The Munster captain will add to his 91 Ireland caps after he was given a one-year extension which runs until the end of next season.
O'Mahony's already won two Six Nations titles, a Grand Slam in 2018 and a Triple Crown in 2022.
The 33-year-old has also played for his province 171 times - scoring 15 tries.
