I'd be of the opinion that Kevin Nolan has never shown any interest in playing for Team FAI; quite the opposite. Now that it looks like he's never going to be good enough for senior England duty with their strength in midfield he can be classed as Irish? No thanks. Hardly the situation Staunton emotively alluded to, when he said he'd be upset if anybody said that his English-born kids couldn't declare for Ireland. But yes, they will go for him and he'll probably play for them. In Croke Park.
