Had a chat recently with a friend and we reckon there are at least 20 players who have been capped by England and have played in the League of Ireland. None were capped while with their LoI club afaik.
Anybody want to start naming them?

Did Bobby Charlton play one or two games here as well?
Terry Venables
Gordon Banks
Bobby Charlton
Carlton Palmer, did he get a game for Dublin City
Bobby Tambling - Cork Celtic, and others i think.
Barry Bridges was player manager of Pats for a while. He had England caps from his early days
Frank Worthington at Galway in late 80s
Dixie Dean - Sligo Rovers. 16 Caps, 18 goals.
All correct so far. Thought Carlton Palmer would be the toughie.
