toni

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'italian going' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'to northern ireland' is the wordplay.
'northern ireland' becomes 'NI' (abbreviation).
'to'+'ni'='TONI'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for toni that I've seen is " Girl".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
