Northern Ireland’s World Cup dream shattered by play-off defeat to ItalyBy Ian Parker, Press Association, BergamoNorthern Ireland’s World Cup dreams were ended by Italy as Michael O’Neill’s young side fell to a 2-0 qualifying play-off semi-final defeat in Bergamo. Northern Ireland battled superbly against an Italy side under immense pressure to deliver qualification after two consecutive failures to reach a tournament they have won four times, but were undone by second-half goals from Sandro Tonali and Moise Kean. Kean, a constant threat throughout the night, then settled it 10 minutes from time as his left-footed strike went in off the post. As well as Northern Ireland defended, they carved out few chances of their own to score, missing the creativity of Conor Bradley and the aerial threat of Dan Ballard as injuries took their toll. Those absentees had seen O’Neill – who has juggled preparations for this game with his job as Blackburn boss – name a side with an average age of just 22.5, Northern Ireland’s second youngest post-war starting XI, with the 30-year-old Paddy McNair the only player over the age of 24.

Substitute Jamie Reid stabbed wide from a corner in stoppage time but Northern Ireland's chance had gone.

There have been “extraordinary delays” in restoring a Carlow town site on which a building was demolished without permission, a High Court judge has said. She noted there has been much publicity around a separate example of a house built 20 years ago without planning permission in Co Meath. In updated legal documents, Ms Morgan alleged her property, which was attached to and supported by the demolished building, has suffered from water ingress and dampness. The judge said it is “perfectly clear” there was no planning permission for the works done “under the cover” of a bank holiday weekend. It is now 2026, and it is not at all surprising Ms Morgan wants a response to the “extraordinary” situation.
