The remainder of the third-round draw pits Sligo Rovers against Bray Wanderers, Bohemians against UCD, Derry City against Waterford United, Monaghan United against Cork City, Shamrock Rovers against Cobh Ramblers and Kilkenny City against Longford Town.

Fairview Rangers, the only non-league club left in the competition, will meet Finn Harps.
