As one of the latest announcements, Ireland has now published the ESC entry. This year the Irish broadcaster RTÉ has made an internal selection, in contrast to previous years, where there has always been a choice, mostly presented in the Late Late Show. It is probably due to the bad results that the general interest in the ESC has decreased. It does not seem that Ireland is very keen to win the event this year.

Nevertheless, the young singer Ryan O'Shaughnessy is going to represent Ireland in Lisbon with "Together". This is a solid entry which should not be underestimated, as this calm entry brings a little class in the ESC entries.

About me:
As one of the founders of eurovisionlive.com I am responsible for the interviews with the singers and the editorial content. My passion for the Eurovision Song Contest exists since my early childhood. The exotic music, different cultures and languages have given a lot of inspiration to me. Since my very first ESC in Dublin 1994 I particularly appreciate the get together and friendship of all the nationalities and Riverdance was a thrill!
