Wimbledon's Kenny Cunningham is back in Mick McCarthy's Ireland squad for the first time since undergoing a groin operation last summer.
The central defender has been included in the squad to face Denmark in the upcoming friendly at Lansdowne Rd later this month.
Also back are Roy Keane, Niall Quinn, Rory Delap, Gary Doherty and Damien Duff. However, there is still no place for Mark Kennedy or Phil Babb.
