  • In this special encore of a previous Douze Points episode, producer Liam introduces Steven's deep dive into Ireland's record-breaking success at the Eurovision Song Contest.

    Until recently, they held the unique distinction of being the only country to have won the contest seven times. Though they now share that honour with Sweden, following Loreen's win in 2023, Ireland's legacy can not be understated.

    As they continue to rise up the ranks with the bookies, and as we begin to wonder if the impossibility of Ireland maybe challenging this year is really that impossible, we wanted to reshare this deep dive and get you all as excited as we are!
