Illness has forced Portsmouth goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu to withdraw as O'Leary joins Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher and Bohemians stopper James Talbot in Stephen Kenny’s squad.
26-year-old O’Leary qualifies for Ireland through his Kerry-born grandfather, has made 11 appearances for Bristol City in the Championship this season. O’Leary has made 36 appearances overall and last received a call-up in May 2019 for a training camp in Portugal.
