Corry said "It was a bit of surprise to be told by Martin on the side of the training pitch, and I'm just heading off the drive down to link up with the squad in Sligo."
"If I get the chance to play hopefully I'll do well"
"It's good to get a bit of recognition for some good performances recently... One of my targets at the start of the season was to get myself back around the fringes of the international squad and hopefully I can push on from here."
