Three SSE Airtricity League Premier Division fixtures have been postponed due to a number of Republic of Ireland Under-21 call-ups.

Bohemians' game against champions Dundalk in Oriel Park and UCD's home match against Cork City were due to take place on March 22, plus Sligo Rovers’ home fixture against Waterford the following day have all been called off.

The match between St Patrick's Athletic and Derry was postponed earlier in the week due to probably Northern Ireland U21 selections. 

Today Republic of Ireland Under-21 manager Stephen Kenny named his 23-man squad to face Luxembourg next week, and the games have been postponed as a result.

Darragh Leahy and Dan Mandroiu (Bohemians), Zach Elbouzedi  and Aaron Drinan (Waterford) and Neil Farrugia (UCD) are among the eight domestic players involved.

A new date for the fixture will be confirmed in due course.
