Midfielder Harry Arter has been rewarded for his contribution to Bournemouth 's bid for Barclays Premier League football with a first call-up to the senior Republic of Ireland squad . The 25-year-old , who regularly represented his country at Under 17 and Under 19 levels , has been included in a provisional 35-man party for the Euro 2016 qualifier against Poland at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on March 29 . Manager Martin O'Neill will reduce the initial squad before the players meet up on March 22 ahead of what could prove to be a key game in the qualification campaign , but there could yet be a place for a surprise inclusion in the shape of Arter .

David Forde ( Millwall ) , Shay Given ( Aston Villa ) , Keiren Westwood ( Sheffield Wednesday ) Darren Randolph ( Birmingham ) , Rob Elliot ( Newcastle ) , Richard Keogh ( Derby ) , Marc Wilson ( Stoke ) , Seamus Coleman ( Everton ) , Cyrus Christie ( Derby ) , John O'Shea ( Sunderland ) , Alex Pearce ( Reading ) , Paul McShane ( Hull ) , James McCarthy ( Everton ) , Jeff Hendrick ( Derby ) , Ciaran Clark ( Aston Villa ) , Stephen Ward ( Burnley . Harry Arter ( Bournemouth ) , Glenn Whelan ( Stoke ) , Darron Gibson ( Everton ) , Paul Green ( Rotherham ) , Aiden McGeady ( Everton ) , Anthony Pilkington ( Cardiff ) , James McClean ( Wigan ) , Robbie Brady , Stephen Quinn , David Meyler ( all Hull ) , Wes Hoolahan ( Norwich ) Robbie Keane ( LA Galaxy ) , Shane Long ( Southampton ) , Daryl Murphy ( Ipswich ) , Jon Walters ( Stoke ) , Kevin Doyle ( Wolves ) , Anthony Stokes ( Celtic ) , Simon Cox ( Reading ) , David McGoldrick ( Ipswich ) . O'Neill said : 'He is having a very good season . I think , yeah , why not ? It would be nice to have a look at him . 'He 's obviously played at under-age level and I wanted to introduce another fresh face . There are no guarantees of anything . I 've met him twice now and I think he deserves that chance . 'This might be a surprise to him as I did n't say anything to him . He will hopefully be pleasantly surprised . ' Former Charlton trainee Arter is currently in his fifth season with the Cherries after joining them from Woking in June 2010 , and has scored six goals in 38 appearances to date during the current campaign . Bournemouth head into the weekend having returned to the top of the Sky Bet Championship table as a result of their 5-1 victory at Fulham last weekend , but only on goal difference with Derby , Watford and Middlesbrough all level with them on 66 points and Norwich just a point behind . Hull midfielder Robbie Brady and Everton counterpart Aiden McGeady have been included , although Brady in particular is struggling with a torn calf muscle , while former Celtic winger McGeady is nursing a bruised knee . Arter has been the driving force behind Bournemouth 's quest for promotion to the Premier League . But there was no place for Aston Villa 's Jack Grealish , who is yet to make up his mind over whether to opt for Ireland or England , a process which has been ongoing for some time to the particular frustration of O'Neill 's assistant and former Villa number two Roy Keane . The Poland game could prove crucial to the Republic 's hopes of making it to the finals in the wake of November 's 1-0 Group D defeat in Scotland . O'Neill 's men opened their campaign with victories in Georgia and at home to Gibraltar , and a 1-1 draw in Germany in October boosted their hopes of claiming second spot with the reigning world champions expected to recover from a less-than-impressive start by their lofty standards . However Poland , who were expected to rival the Irish and the Scots for the runners-up spot , currently enjoy a three-point lead over Germany , Scotland and Ireland at the top of the table having beaten the Germans 2-0 in Warsaw during October , only to be held to a 2-2 draw by Gordon Strachan 's men three days later . O'Neill said : 'Poland are a very strong team , they 've obviously got off to a great start . Confidence is obviously very high there . They look up to the task . It will be a tough game for us . '
