We may have more Eurovision wins (seven, in case you re wondering) under our belt than any other country, but over the course of the contest s 63 year history we ve had quite a few turkeys amongst our entries too (aside from the obvious). Here s a rundown of the some of the more memorable performances from Ireland over the years, both good and bad. You can t appreciate the former fully without remembering the latter so let s kick off with the bad. 1977 The Swarbriggs Plus Two - It’s Nice to Be In Love Again Tommy and Jimmy Swarbrigg represented Ireland in 1975 with That s What Friends are For (the song parodied by Father Ted with My Lovely Horse), and returned two years later with two ladies - Nicola Kerr and Alma Carroll - in tow (the plus two of the imaginative title), like an Irish ABBA (the Swedes had won with Waterloo in 1974). The Swarbriggs were less successful, however, coming ninth (the same position they had achieved in 1975).
