Edit - Decided to do a search on Transfermarkt and there's actually one older Irish player - 40 year old Joe Murphy who is still playing regularly in goal for Tranmere in League 2, though his contract is up in June. Joe played against Man City among others for Tranmere in what is now the Championship back in 1999, incredible longevity.
He won 2 caps for Ireland playing a total of 18 minutes and also played twice in the Premier League, just a few months after Ireland's 2002 world cup odyssey (and a few months after Gavin Bazunu was born!).
He's also the last man standing of our 1998 European Championship winning under 16 and under 18 teams, he was the keeper for the Under 16s.
