RTÉ has today announced who will represent Ireland at the Eurovision Song Contest in Rotterdam next May with a brand-new song.
Lesley Roy was due to represent Ireland in 2020 and she has been chosen to represent the country again in 2021.
This year’s Eurovision in The Netherlands may not have happened, but Eurovision organisers are determined to make up for it in 2021.
Due to the ongoing pandemic, the Eurovision was cancelled for the first time in its 65-year history, disappointing hundreds of millions of fans worldwide, meaning Irish-born New York resident Lesley didn’t get the chance to compete with her uplifting pop tune, Story of My Life.
