The call up means Byrne will miss the Iron's away game at Boston a week tomorrow leaving Scunny boss Brian Laws with a bit of a headache - particularly if right back Nathan Stanton fails to recover for the game.
Laws said "It's an important game for us and although I appreciate the fact that players have to represent their country if picked, it beggars belief really why an under 21 team is playing on a Friday night.
"It has annoyed me alot when normally the Irish FA have had my full support."
The full squad is as follows:
Daniel Connor (Waterford)
Saul Deeney (Notts County)
Stephen Kelly (Tottenham Hotspur)
Clifford Byrne (Scunthorpe)
John Thompson (Nottingham Forest)
Stephen Capper (Scarborough)
Colin Cryan (Sheffield United)
Stephen Brennan (Newcastle United)
Patrick Kohlmann (Borussia Dortmund)
Thomas Butler (Sunderland)
Liam Miller (Glasgow Celtic)
Sean Thornton (Sunderland)
Wesley Hoolahan (Shelbourne)
Stephen Elliott (Manchester City)
Michael Doyle (Coventry City)
Graham Barrett (Coventry City)
Kevin O’Connor (Brentford)
