Today, I am announcing my decision to retire from International football following the upcoming game with Oman on 31st August in the Aviva Stadium [Lansdowne Road Nua[
It has been a wonderful journey for me to have played with the Irish national team for over eighteen years since I made my senior international debut back in 1998. I have enjoyed it all.
It has also been a great honour, for both me and my family, to have been given the opportunity to captain my country for over ten years.
As a young boy growing up in Dublin playing football on the street I could never have imagined the path my life would take – it has exceeded my wildest expectations.

Eskimos used to make maps out of driftwood, bone, and pebbles.
The oldest globe in the world is made out of a carved ostrich egg.
Early mapmakers uses to include fake town names to catch forgers.While we take great joy in unearthing fun facts of all kinds, we here at The Irish Workshop prefer a more minimalistic approach to our maps.
Take a look at these charming prints by our very own Richard E. Dalton. Richard creates maps of Irish towns both big and small, bringing his distinctly straightforward style to each location. What a wonderful, unique, and simple way to show off your hometown pride….
