Andrew Coscoran is through to the final of the men's 1500m at the European Athletics Championships in Rome.
The 27-year-old finished fifth in Monday's semi-final to progress to Wednesday's final, but Nick Griggs missed out.
Phil Healy's fifth placed finish in the heats of the women's 200m was also not enough to advance.
