No matter what your views are about this year’s song contest, all artists deserve to be treated with courtesy and respect. The contest was specifically founded to unite people through music. We need to ignore all voices advocating hate, division and intolerance.

I remember her powerful performance of this song. She was such a special person… and helped transform this country in more ways than she probably ever really knew. It was such a privilege being in her presence, listening to her sing. RIP Sinead.
Unfortunately 🇮🇪 are not in the

final tonight (

Devastated by the loss of Marian. I was her Series Producer on RTE Radio once upon a time and sat opposite her for a year, we got on like a house on fire. Deepest sympathies to John and Jack. Such terrible news. RIP Marian.
It is with profound sadness that we announce the death of Marian Finucane. “Ireland has lost a unique voice,” says Director-General Dee Forbes. “A pioneer in broadcasting,” says Moya Doherty.
Still processing the awful news of the death of our friend and colleague Keelin Shanley. So many happy memories of working with her over the years in both radio and TV. She was so talented, smart, funny, kind... so many things. Heartbroken for her family. RIP Keelin.
