Tullamore RFC's Aoife Dalton will now be joined in the centre by Anna McGann.
Ireland have made three changes ahead of their third round of the women's Six Nations against Italy this weekend.
Tullamore RFC's Aoife Dalton is retained in the centre and the side will once again be led by Offaly's Nichola Fryday.
Full-back Lauren Delany, centre Anna McGann and scrum-half Ailsa Hughes all come in to the starting 15.
It's been a bruising few weeks for Irish rugby on and off the field with a report in the Telegraph accusing the IRFU of sexism while Greg McWilliams' side have lost their opening two games heavily.
After a week's break, Ireland kick off at 4.45 in Italy tomorrow.
