The nation held its breath, for about 95 minutes, last night and still had energy to let out a roar heard all the way over in Gelsenkirchen, Berlin and beyond.
Following a tense, taut, terrific 1-0 Irish win, there were absolute scenes the country over.
Over in the Aviva, the green army went bonkers.
It looks like the most craic was had in Limerick and it was added to because of some legends in An Garda Síochána.
The lads on the beat cranked out ‘Put ‘Em Under Pressure’ to send a bunch of joyous Irish fans wild.
