I hope Ireland send something as good as "I'm loving me" by Rachel Goode from their NF one or two years ago.

I am already Team Ireland for 2024. Give us Celtic realness. Give us Hozier.

Hi, so this has nothing to do with 2024. So when the Irish spokesperson is introduced, what are they saying before speaking English? I've always wondered that...

I think CMAT is likely to do it next year. She's a big fan and honestly has great and unique music.

And is she then going to ditch her music in favour of going to Sweden and writing something really generic and weak like the rest of them?

I want Ireland to take their ass seriously. Like, I am tired seeing them half-assing their picks and basically made a failed non-hypable national final since I don't see them putting effort at marketing it. They need some sort of a magical reform like UMK perhaps, recruiting young talents with good vision.

Aside of that, I wish Ireland could send something as magical as this. I know this is K-Pop, but this very spring-like orchestral sound would fit Ireland's imagery IMO.

That's Irish language, so it's a greet in that language. I've lived in Ireland for some time, but the only thing I manage to understand is Baile Átha Cliath, the Irish name of Dublin. I guess the whole greet translates into Good evening Europe, Dublin calling, or something like that. Maybe an Irish can give us some light on this ;)

Irish is a very old language which when directly translated doesn't make sense fully in modern conversation. What she literally said was "God bless you" or "God be with you" as that's how in the past people greeted eachother across many cultures.

In reality when an Irish person says this today what we actually intend to be saying is "hello, greetings" or "hello to you". She then added in irish "from Dublin".

So the full sentence was "God bless you from Dublin" if you look at it from a literal word for word meaning. But that's not how the modern phrase is Interpreted. Especially since ireland isn't a religious country now.

So what she said was "Hello, greetings from Dublin".

Direct translation of old phrases and languages never sounds right. No one today walks around going "God bless you" to everyone lol. Yet, that's how it directly translates.

So again, she simply said "hello, greetings from dublin" or "hello there from dublin".

Is Ireland thinking about ditching the Late Late show NF, finally?
They mention the chosen artists will perform on a television broadcast, but they don't mention it's part of that talk show

Wishful thinking that RTE would have the the common sense and creativity to do an arena-style selection show when they have the wonderful late late show to stick it on like an after thought!!

Yeah but if it's in an arena and not the late late show then people wont have a chance to win a hamper of peanut butter.
