The Irish state broadcaster RTÉ has said it will not take part in the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest “if the participation of Israel goes ahead”.
Good, the last contest was a fucking joke.
The contest was fine, the voting patterns and final result were not.
I liked the winning entry! And was incredibly relieved…
At this rate Germany might win this contest for once! /s
Don’t worry; we’ll find an artist so bland that we’ll get zero points even if we’re the only participant. The audience will fall asleep and wake up a week later with no recollection of the event. The victory will be awarded to Sweden on principle.
While they’ve not been super successful in recent years, Ireland has won the contest more than any other country except Sweden. Hopefully that means that their position holds particular weight here
