The Republic of Ireland suffered a sickening defeat in their quest to qualify for the European Under21 Championship for the first time ever as they went down 1-2 to Iceland on Sunday afternoon.

Our photographer Martin Doherty was on hand to snap away at the best of the action from Tallaght Stadium and he compiled this gallery here.

Meanwhile our reporter David Wilson was present to provide a match report which you can view here, or if you'd rather browse through the live updates you can do that here.
