QPR's Republic of Ireland defender Richard Dunne has announced his retirement from international football.
The 34-year-old QPR player made his debut for his country in 2000, going on to win 80 caps, the last of which came against Kazakhstan last October.
Dunne told his club's official website: "Retiring from international football has been an extremely difficult decision for me to make.
"I have represented Ireland since I was 15 years of age, and have thoroughly enjoyed all the highs and lows that have come with playing for my country.
"I will continue to support the team as they embark upon their new campaign under Martin O'Neill, and have every faith that they will qualify for France 2016."
