Her return to the squad is a major boost for Ireland, who will be looking to make a strong impression in the tournament.
Ireland's opening game against France promises to be a thrilling encounter, with both teams eager to make a statement in the tournament. The squad's preparation has been intense, with Bemand putting his players through a rigorous training regime to ensure they are ready for the challenges ahead.
