Great question, might be the first time in a long while. Best I have is the following

Alan Maybury(19) and Stephen McPhail(18) Saturday, 7th February 1998 Premier League Leicester City 1-0 Leeds United
Shane Supple(19) and Billy Clarke(18) Saturday, 21st October 2006 Championship Southend United 1-3 Ipswich
Mark O'Brien(19) and Jeff Hendrick(19) Saturday, 26th October 2011 Championship West Ham United 3-1 Derby County
Sean Murray(18) and Connor Smith(19) Saturday, 29th September 2012 Championship Huddersfield 2-3 Watford

Even extending this to League One, League Two, FA Cup, and League Cup games, the best I can add are these

Thomas Butler(19) and Brendan McGill(19) Tuesday, 26th September 2000 League Cup Luton 1-2 Sunderland
Patrick Cregg(19) and Anthony Stokes(17) Tuesday, 25th October 2005 League Cup Sunderland 0-3 Arsenal
Festy Ebosele(18) and Olamide Ibrahim(17) Saturday, 9th January 2021 FA Cup Chorley 2-0 Derby County
 

Nice so essentially the first time you can find 3 Irish teenagers on the pitch together at the same time?

Similar to Omobamidele at Norwich it would be good if Derby could confirm their league status sooner rather than later as that might mean he gets a run of games before the end of the season with an eye on the future.

He has the makings of an excellent right wing back if things fall his way.
Not too sure he has the end product of a winger perfect as a right midfielder in a 4-4-2 or would be a good wing back
He was awful against chorley in the fa cup but tough circumstances

Played for Moyne here in Wexford top top young fella everyone has only good words to say despite being from enniscorthy 
Went over as a winger now playing full back
Could be wrong but derby had a brilliant under 18 team year or two ago I think challenged for the league that are coming through now

Should be on the periphery of the 21's squad in the upcoming campaign, which would be excellent progress as he's well below the age limit for it.

Knight got a break I think he needs it tbh. 3 teenagers on the pitch today in that game at the end not including Knight. When’s the last time that happened for Ireland at PL or Championship level?

Made his senior league debut for Derby today in the Championship I believe.  

18 year old from Wexford, has played well at the European Championships for our youth teams.  

Primarily a pacy winger, but can play right back as well.  Should have a good future in the game, and at a club where Wayne Rooney is not afraid to trust young players, as we've seen with Jason Knight.
