The Republic of Ireland have beaten Italy 1 - 0

:00:07.:00:10.

to join Northern Ireland in the last 16 of

:00:11.:00:12.

And Northern Ireland now know that they'll face Wales in Paris this

:00:13.:00:17.

Robbie Brady got the all important goal for Martin O'Neill's

:00:18.:00:22.

He headed in Wes Houlahan's cross to keep the European championship

:00:23.:00:26.

dream alive and send the fans in Lille into raptures.

:00:27.:00:31.

Thomas Kane watched the dramatic scenes unfold tonight and,

:00:32.:00:33.

a short time ago, spoke to the manager Martin O'Neill.

:00:34.:00:42.

It has been an incredible night in Lille for Martin O'Neill and his

:00:43.:00:49.

side. You asked your place to be confident and strong, embrace the

:00:50.:00:53.

impatient. They did that and a lot more. They were immense tonight, it

:00:54.:00:59.

really amends. If big performance, had to win the game obviously and

:01:00.:01:04.

they came and we deserved to win it. The way we played, though control we

:01:05.:01:09.

had of the game against a very talented Italian side, not just

:01:10.:01:13.

that, it was the effort we put into the game, it was immense and if we

:01:14.:01:18.

hadn't had one, it would have been the usual thing, a great effort but

:01:19.:01:21.

just falling short. We didn't fall short tonight, we deserved to win

:01:22.:01:27.

it. I spoke to you before the tournament and you said it's not a

:01:28.:01:31.

coincidence that this team scores late goals, it's because of the

:01:32.:01:36.

spirit. Once again, Robbie Brady score is an iconic Irish goal.

:01:37.:01:43.

You're absolutely right. Whatever you say about this site, they do not

:01:44.:01:49.

lack spirit and determination. We could tidy certain things up, but

:01:50.:01:53.

tonight we didn't need to tidy things up. We've dominated again

:01:54.:01:56.

against Italy any match we had to win and just when you think the

:01:57.:02:00.

chance had gone, when the chance was missed, you think that set, were not

:02:01.:02:04.

going to get a clear-cut chance again and then he sends one in and

:02:05.:02:09.

Robbie Brady has gone as bravely as anything to go and hit it into the

:02:10.:02:12.

net and it's a great evening. A great evening for us and thusly for

:02:13.:02:16.

the players and a fantastic evening for the fans because they kept the

:02:17.:02:21.

team going through the evening. The supporters you've mentioned in amber

:02:22.:02:24.

of times during this tournament. Where the extra special tonight? I'm

:02:25.:02:29.

not even sure that they can be even more extra special. I thought the

:02:30.:02:36.

scenes before the game and during the match in Paris where fantastic.

:02:37.:02:40.

I thought we let them down a little bit in the game against Belgium and

:02:41.:02:45.

just lost their way a little bit in the second half. We knew there was a

:02:46.:02:50.

big performance from the team tonight and I think the fans have

:02:51.:02:55.

reacted and I think, together, with fans and players we've been carried

:02:56.:02:59.

over the line. You made some big decisions in terms of your team

:03:00.:03:02.

selection. How please do you that it worked so? It's not just that. You

:03:03.:03:09.

need to add a little bit of energy into this side, a couple of players

:03:10.:03:13.

the wrong side of 30 who have done magnificently for us. We had energy

:03:14.:03:20.

in the side tonight and we were able to keep the going through the 90

:03:21.:03:24.

minutes. Thank you very much respect into us. Congratulations. Once

:03:25.:03:30.

again, next up, it's France. A happy man there.

:03:31.:03:31.

Our reporter Ita Dungan is with the Irish fans

:03:32.:03:33.

Ita, a winning goal just six minutes from full-time,

:03:34.:03:36.

Yes, indeed. As you can see, it's quiet behind me at the moment

:03:37.:03:48.

because all the fans that were here have made their way into the centre

:03:49.:03:54.

of Lille for one a huge party. It was here in that 84th minute when

:03:55.:04:00.

Robbie Brady's goal hit the back of the net that this place was

:04:01.:04:04.

absolutely bouncing. The stadium is eight calamities away from here and

:04:05.:04:11.

you could nearly here, command you boys in green, echoing out across

:04:12.:04:14.

the city and that's exactly what they did. The boys in green have

:04:15.:04:21.

secured a famous 1-0 victory against the Italians. 1994, giant stadium,

:04:22.:04:31.

2016, in Lille. What do the fans think? As we watch the mat, there

:04:32.:04:36.

was the highs and lows at the first half, the nerves were absolutely

:04:37.:04:41.

jangling. Then there was the second half, the head went down, absolutely

:04:42.:04:48.

slightly and then that goal sent this place into absolute ecstasy.

:04:49.:04:52.

How can I discredit? I'll leave that up to the fans that we spoke to when

:04:53.:04:59.

the whistle was blown. I can put into words! They were a million

:05:00.:05:02.

times better than Italy. They were by far the better team. Steyn I

:05:03.:05:09.

believe it. For the hell I read? Wheel will just be there. We have

:05:10.:05:17.

another week, we're not going home. We're here to stay! Steyn ecstatic!

:05:18.:05:26.

Well done, lads. Are some, just awesome. Lost for words. Brilliant

:05:27.:05:33.

reaction from the fans there. What next for the team? The footballing

:05:34.:05:41.

odyssey continues. It's time to pack up your suitcases again, ring the

:05:42.:05:45.

credit union, bring your boss and ask for some time off. It's the

:05:46.:05:50.

French as well. The Irish have timed the French people here. Half of the

:05:51.:05:54.

people here this afternoon and this evening were French, but they all

:05:55.:06:00.

had tricolours on around them. It is the French that the Republic of

:06:01.:06:05.

Ireland will meet in Lyon on Sunday. This weekend, Northern Ireland

:06:06.:06:09.

versus Wales on Saturday, Ireland versus France on Sunday, who would

:06:10.:06:11.

ever have thought? The First Minister, Arlene Foster,

:06:12.:06:13.

was quick to congratulate In a tweet, she said, Well done,

:06:14.:06:15.

Republic of Ireland - what a result. There have been celebrations

:06:16.:06:20.

here in Belfast too. Our reporter David Maxwell was down

:06:21.:06:23.

at the fanzone at There was a pretty subdued

:06:24.:06:34.

atmosphere here most of the evening until that goal in the 85th minute,

:06:35.:06:40.

that 11 is a goal which secured the Republic's place in the knockout

:06:41.:06:43.

stages of this competition and since that goal, the celebrating hasn't

:06:44.:06:46.

stopped. It was unbelievable. We thought we

:06:47.:07:03.

had been beaten. Steyn this is something to do our country prayed

:07:04.:07:06.

for the rest of our lives. We are going to go on and win the Euro.

:07:07.:07:15.

It's great. We are finally there and in the next round, the fans have

:07:16.:07:19.

been the best in the world. A great goal. The last five or six minutes,

:07:20.:07:25.

were going to win. The clean-up is already underway here but it's not

:07:26.:07:29.

being cleaned up for the last time. Plenty more world-class football is

:07:30.:07:30.

going to be watched right here. Well, the Northern Ireland fans

:07:31.:07:33.

and the team have been coming to terms with the fact

:07:34.:07:37.

that their Euros adventure goes on. Our reporter Stephen Watson has been

:07:38.:07:40.

getting the reaction of manager Michael O'Neill to his side's

:07:41.:07:43.

progression to the knock-out stage. When you're a small team, you don't

:07:44.:07:53.

get recognition. When we qualified, people said that there is more teams

:07:54.:07:57.

in the tournament. Not the fact that we'd won every group to be here.

:07:58.:08:04.

From a number of our players, the tend not to get the recognition of

:08:05.:08:07.

some of the other players in the tournament even on a weekly basis,

:08:08.:08:12.

domestic way for the club. For our players in particular, they are

:08:13.:08:15.

playing outside the Premier League ready I pretty much the recognition

:08:16.:08:21.

is based on a local area. To be brought to the attention of a

:08:22.:08:26.

worldwide audience and to get the applause that they've had has been

:08:27.:08:31.

great and it's been an experience they have enjoyed. Can you extend

:08:32.:08:35.

this remarkable journey? Can you stay in France? I think we can. The

:08:36.:08:41.

knockout competition suits the smaller nations. You are always

:08:42.:08:46.

looking over your shoulder at that other group and are looking at

:08:47.:08:50.

what's happening in other games. All we are concerned about now is

:08:51.:08:53.

ourselves and the next game and it's the cup tie. We will be the mineral.

:08:54.:08:59.

We will be the giant killer in that situation. We have to go and believe

:09:00.:09:06.

whoever we play, we can progress. We will play against top teams. We have

:09:07.:09:10.

played against top teams and we've won. We've played against a bigger

:09:11.:09:14.

nations, so the experience of doing that will hopefully give them the

:09:15.:09:18.

belief that they can stay in the competition and I've no doubt the

:09:19.:09:20.

players believe that. The Northern Ireland fans now know

:09:21.:09:21.

they'll be staying in Paris, for their next

:09:22.:09:24.

match against Wales. Earlier today, our reporter

:09:25.:09:25.

Helen Jones got their reaction to The moment Northern Ireland fans

:09:26.:09:40.

find out they were staying and fans. Qualification for the last 16. He

:09:41.:09:53.

will be relieved and pleased that they've reached this level. He will

:09:54.:09:59.

certainly be delighted for the team. He's very much a team player. I

:10:00.:10:06.

think he will see it as more of a team effort. Not only are Northern

:10:07.:10:10.

Ireland fans making news at home, they're making the news in France.

:10:11.:10:14.

High praise from the number one sports paper here. It says, you

:10:15.:10:17.

would have been better watching the terraces than the pitch. It's almost

:10:18.:10:22.

24 hours since Northern Ireland qualified for the final 16. Will

:10:23.:10:28.

fancy a new wave of fans arriving. What the plans for the fans who have

:10:29.:10:37.

here all along? Couple of us have thought about staying. We were

:10:38.:10:39.

supposed to go home on Saturday ourselves. Even another deer too,

:10:40.:10:51.

think we make to squeeze attend. Steyn the other two games was that

:10:52.:10:58.

the idea was always to hang on. We are confident enough. These things

:10:59.:11:05.

normally read their own cause. We are going to be hanging on for the

:11:06.:11:13.

extra couple of days. Have a lot of things to go home to. It's

:11:14.:11:24.

unbelievable. I might it a day ticket. It's been a long road

:11:25.:11:28.

travelled up until now. The journey is not yet over. The Northern

:11:29.:11:36.

Ireland's manager Michael O'Neill said his team's match against Wales

:11:37.:11:40.

on Saturday was going to be a fantastic game. He said it will be

:11:41.:11:44.

tough but the team would go into the match believing they can win.

:11:45.:11:47.

The polls open tomorrow morning at seven o'clock

:11:48.:11:49.

Today, the two sides made their final push for votes.

:11:50.:11:53.

The result, whether the UK should leave or stay in the European Union,

:11:54.:11:56.

should be known by breakfast on Friday.

:11:57.:11:59.

Here's our political correspondent, Stephen Walker.

:12:00.:12:06.

It's been a long campaign involving TV debates, radio phone in is and

:12:07.:12:15.

tomorrow it's finally over. Opinion is divided. The business committee

:12:16.:12:19.

is split with some backing Leave and others who want the UK to stay. It's

:12:20.:12:26.

about certainty and uncertainty. Business despises uncertainty and

:12:27.:12:31.

what we want is a concrete situation or concrete deposition that we can

:12:32.:12:35.

operate from we don't have complexity. It will mean a

:12:36.:12:40.

hesitation in making decisions, not just by us but by our trading

:12:41.:12:46.

partners. Those in the Leave camp insist that Brexit would benefit

:12:47.:12:53.

everyone. We are a strong nation of entrepreneurs, small businesses and

:12:54.:12:55.

salespeople. We can make our own way in the world doing deals around the

:12:56.:13:02.

world without being restricted to the EU. Tomorrow, the polling

:13:03.:13:09.

stations will open at 7am and close at 10pm. Voters will need to bring

:13:10.:13:14.

along ID and the polling booth will be asked this question, should the

:13:15.:13:21.

United Kingdom remain a member of the European union relieve the

:13:22.:13:24.

European Union? Voters are asked to put an X in the box of their choice.

:13:25.:13:30.

Just over 1.2 million people in Northern Ireland are entitled to

:13:31.:13:34.

vote. There will be around 600 polling places at schools and

:13:35.:13:38.

committee holes and around 1400 ballot boxes will be used. Counting

:13:39.:13:43.

is taking place overnight and we should have the final result by

:13:44.:13:45.

breakfast time on Friday. A County Antrim tourist attraction

:13:46.:13:50.

has been forced to close The Gobbins - a dramatic cliff face

:13:51.:13:53.

walk in Islandmagee - reopened last August

:13:54.:13:57.

following a ?7.5 million revamp but it shut again on Monday

:13:58.:14:00.

because of a rock fall. Here's our north east

:14:01.:14:03.

reporter Sara Girvin. Just weeks ago, the Gobbins was

:14:04.:14:16.

welcoming its first visitors of 2016. It closed last December

:14:17.:14:20.

following landslides caused by storms Abigail and Frank. There

:14:21.:14:24.

appears, including the removal of tonnes of rubble, take to the end of

:14:25.:14:29.

April to complete. On Monday, it closed again, this time because of

:14:30.:14:34.

rock falls. The Gobbins had been shut for more than 50 years before a

:14:35.:14:39.

relaunch costing ?7.5 million and with hefty repairers build winding

:14:40.:14:46.

up, is it money well spent? We've had almost 14,000 visitors over 55%

:14:47.:14:51.

of those by outside Northern Ireland. The truth implications for

:14:52.:14:57.

that are massive. It's going to be a major tourist attraction, so, yes, I

:14:58.:15:01.

think it's worth it. Those who manage the coastal path are at the

:15:02.:15:05.

mercy of non--- mother nature when it comes to further damage. They say

:15:06.:15:08.

the safety of staff and visitors were always come first. The Gobbins

:15:09.:15:14.

cafe and visitor centre remains open but the path itself will remain shut

:15:15.:15:18.

the next two to three weeks when maintenance work to the cliff face

:15:19.:15:23.

is carried out. It's hoped that work will help limit future limiting

:15:24.:15:24.

future closures. The jockey Tony McCoy

:15:25.:15:28.

became a sir today. He collected his knighthood

:15:29.:15:30.

for services to horse racing from Princess Anne during a service

:15:31.:15:33.

this morning at Buckingham Palace. The 20-time champion jockey

:15:34.:15:37.

from Moneyglass in County Antrim retired in 2015 after he became

:15:38.:15:40.

the most successful jump He rode more than 4,000

:15:41.:15:43.

winners in his long career. A look ahead now to a story coming

:15:44.:15:52.

up on tomorrow's BBC Newsline - Countless letters were written by

:15:53.:16:04.

soldiers in the trenches urging the First World War and boosted home to

:16:05.:16:09.

loved ones. To historians, they became personal first-hand accounts

:16:10.:16:13.

of life and death during the Battle of the Somme. With the centenary

:16:14.:16:19.

almost upon us, some of our correspondence have recently been

:16:20.:16:22.

rediscovered. I'll be reporting on one batch of battlefield letters

:16:23.:16:27.

written 100 years ago by a teenage soldier to his sweetheart back home

:16:28.:16:28.

in Belfast. That story coming up on BBC Newsline

:16:29.:16:29.

at 6.30 tomorrow evening. The weather forecast

:16:30.:16:32.

now, with Barra Best. We are likely to see 20 degrees

:16:33.:16:47.

pop-up in 12 spots tomorrow. Tonight it stays mild for rust of us. When

:16:48.:16:53.

this guy does clear in the countryside, we could see

:16:54.:16:55.

temperatures a little bit lower than that but not too bad at all for the

:16:56.:17:00.

time of year. Tomorrow, we get off to a promising start with a lot of

:17:01.:17:04.

dry weather and sunshine. Throughout the day, it will turn a little bit

:17:05.:17:08.

more unsettled for the west. Southerly winds are light and good

:17:09.:17:11.

events of sunshine and that cloud begins to pop in from the Atlantic

:17:12.:17:15.

by about mid-morning, bringing with it a few scattered showers to

:17:16.:17:18.

western areas of Ireland. The heaviest of the rain to begin with

:17:19.:17:22.

will be across the south-east of England. Some heavy downpour is here

:17:23.:17:26.

which eventually clears out and will turn dryer. Sunny spells and

:17:27.:17:30.

scattered showers further knife and a little bit cooler, but

:17:31.:17:35.

temperatures around 1921 degrees. Across Ireland, we are likely to see

:17:36.:17:39.

discarded cherries popping up to the afternoon and 12 of those will be

:17:40.:17:43.

heavy, possibly with some thunder and lightning. We could get the odd

:17:44.:17:53.

rumble of thunder next on well. Not too bad at all. If you're away from

:17:54.:17:59.

the showers and you do get some nice sunshine. On Friday, we do it all

:18:00.:18:03.

again. There will be some scattered cherries and this time we are likely

:18:04.:18:06.

to see my heavy downpours and some thunder and lightning as well. A

:18:07.:18:10.

cooler, fresher date with a north-westerly wind towards the

:18:11.:18:16.

cause. Some scattered showers will stay with us over the weekend, but

:18:17.:18:20.

it's not a complete wash-out. There will be good dry periods and sons

:18:21.:18:21.

antennas well. Our next BBC Newsline

:18:22.:18:23.

is at 6.25 in the morning You can also keep updated
