He's decided to call it a day with Ireland:

I hoped he'd stick around for one more campaign, but you can hardly begrudge him with the great service
he gave down the years and the number of injuries he's had lately. It's a sickener the way he bowed out,
the Euros must have been a cruel experience for him really after waiting so long to get to another tournament
and then not being able to play to his ability when he finally got the chance.
End of an era really, can't be too long before Dunne, Keane & Duff follow him off into the sunset.
