The Galway born player feels his time not being called up for International duty has benefitted him becoming a better player for Ipswich Town. At 29 his time for breaking into the Irish team and getting appearances are dwindling.
He told the clubs website
"It is a huge honour playing for my country but I want to be starting and not just going as a makeweight.
"The international breaks have been good for me and not being involved allows me time to work on fitness and finishing.
"Ipswich is my No.1 priority in getting to the Premiership and it doesn't benefit me going away for two weeks spending time in a hotel room to play five minutes if I play at all."
