Keane’s 62nd international goal handed the hosts a deserved lead, as they have dominated the opening stages and subsequently spurned some decent chances to extend their advantage.
McGeady then doubled Ireland’s advantage midway through the second half, with a powerful right-footed strike from distance.
Shane Long then added a third, putting the victory beyond all doubt, latching on to Seamus Coleman’s cross.
