Comment: Better wording can be suggested. I'm trying to avoid the phrase "played for Ireland" as there are two Irish association football teams (Northern Ireland & Republic of Ireland), whereas Aussie rules seems to have a team for the whole island or Ireland

Article is new, neutral and long enough. It cites sources inline. "Earwig's Copyvio Detector" reports no significant text similaraties. The hook is well-formatted and interesting. Its length is within limit. Its fact "playing association football" is not cited explicitly. QPQ was done. Approval will follow the addressing of the issue.

I have updated the article so that it now says "In March 2015, Breen made her debut for the
Republic of Ireland women's national football team in the 2015 Istria Cup"- in this context, football means association football. It's supported by
[3], although that source calls it soccer rather than association football. Is this okay now?

It's OK. Everything is fine now. Good to go.
