Irish Eurovision fans resigned to watching it on BBC One with Graham Norton and no ads

Paul McRingo | Hurling Correspondent

With RTE boycotting this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, Irish fans will be forced to watch it on BBC One tomorrow night with the always hilarious commentary of Graham Norton and no ad breaks.

RTE are refusing to broadcast the show on behalf of the people of Ireland due to Israel’s inclusion. Although during last year’s public vote the people of Ireland gave Israel 10 points – the second highest possible score.

Of course one huge positive to take from not participating in this year’s contest is that it meant we didn’t have to watch Ireland not qualifying for the final yet again this year and that can only be a good thing. Yay! Come on Ireland!
