As if we haven't had to explain to confused locals why Australia can take part every year since 2015....

My county has made it to the All-Ireland Football Final for the first time since 1957. An Lú abú! 🔴⚪️

We're recruiting for new members of the Eurovoix team. This could be your chance to join a team with a passion for #Eurovision year-round. If you enjoy writing, social media, or video editing, then we would love to hear from you. (1/2)

I would die for Sal da Vinci.

Happy 15th Birthday to the site that changed my life in so many ways. Go dté sinn an céad!

Who knew that being so bad could feel so good? "We Will Rock You" has come to an end and we definitely rocked An Táin Theatre. It was the greatest honour to play Khashoggi and to be a part of such a wonderful cast.

I'm still a beginner in Hungarian but I can say this. Gratulálok mindenkinek Magyarországon! 🇭🇺

You can probably support the working class and demand support for people who are struggling because of capitalist inequality and also not pretend massively bigoted rhetoric and action isn't happening or being Trojan-horsed in under the guise of taking down those in power, by the way. Just a thought.

I have woken up to find that not only the clocks have gone forward, but we have advanced into the timeline where this is now a thing? What is going on?!

I wasn't expecting to hear "Óró Sé do Bheatha Bhaile" on the first episode of #SNLUK but it was greatly appreciated. Great to see sketch comedy on such a huge platform!

Inniu, shiúil mé sa mhórshiúil agus fuair mé seaicéad saor in aisce. Níl sé sin go dona do mo chéad Lá Fhéile Pádraig in Éirinn ó 2020. Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona daoibh go léir! 🇮🇪

Representing your country at an international event is political. The reason for the contest's existence, bringing people together through music, is political. Eurovision, like everything else in life, is political. The only way it can be non-political is if it doesn't exist.

We're back and better than ever!

SEI UN MITO, SEI UN MITO PER ME #Sanremo2026

THEY'RE WEARING THE CURLING TROUSERS!!! #WinterOlympics2026 #MilanoCortinaOlympics2026

It was never a good idea in the first place tbh.

Sign of a good musical rehearsal: Everyone bursts into "Hit Me Baby One More Time" at the end of it.

Let's go Team Ireland! Cuir bród orainn ar fad! 🇮🇪🇮🇪 #WinterOlympics #MilanoCortina2026

LAURA PAUSINI 😍😍😍 #WinterOlympics #MilanoCortina2026

Raffaela Carrà is eternal. #MilanoCortina2026 #WinterOlympics

Today was the end of an era. Ina, you were the boss in every sense of the word, the most gifted painter, writer and storyteller, the inventor of great turns of phrase and the best grandmother I could ask for. I promise to always stay with my friends. Slán leat, a Uachtarán.

Thank you all for the birthday wishes! Glad to have made another trip around the sun and to now have as many years as Ireland had counties.

I went to the Algarve many times with my family over the years and I always thought that it was strikingly similar to my county, especially the climate of course!

Watching #SelecțiaNațională was like seeing what Eurovision should and could stand for, people coming together to have a good time and not having to be filled with existential dread about a certain country ruining it for their own benefit.

That year off has already done Moldova the world of good. This is like a completely different broadcaster! #SelecțiaNatională2026

Exciting and all none of the Brits will live up to Paudie. #TheTraitors

Thank you 2025 for showing me that there are things worth sticking around for. I believe in the future again. Here's to a 2026 full of adventure and happiness. Athbhliain faoi mhaise daoibh go léir!

Saudade, saudade, it never truly goes away. I miss you, granddad. #ESC250

Lejla, my all-time favourite Eurovision song. Still as magical as the first time I heard it. #ESC250

France should have won in 1991. Fight me, Sweden. #ESC250

And that's my second song on the list. 🇱🇻 #ESC250

Once again, Telemóveis was ahead of its time and was robbed. #ESC250

Ireland has finally entered the chat! 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪 #ESC250

First song on my list! Páll Óskar forever! 🇮🇸 #ESC250

I once heard "The Wrong Place" while in the baggage reclaim in Brussels Airport. Not really the song you want to hear while waiting for your luggage. #ESC250

If "Looking Back" hadn't won UMK 2020, we may never have gotten "Ich komme" and Erika's rightful moment in the spotlight. #ESC250

The end of the year wouldn't be the same without it. Let's see what #ESC250 has in store this year!

A day full of warmth, a night of light and a present that is a bit on the nose. Nollaig Shona daoibh go léir!

This weekend, I had the immense honour and privilege of being on the Irish jury for #JESC2025. It was the biggest Eurovision thing I have done since entering the Eurovision media world eight years ago. Míle buíochas do TG4 agus Adare Productions as an deis seo a thabhairt dom.

I have some wonderful memories of covering PreParty ES on the ground and while this is sad news, it's definitely the right decision. Todo mi apoyo y amor al equipo de Eurovision-Spain. Nos vemos de nuevo un día.

No joke, I would take several bullets for Declan. #LateLateToyShow

Time to unwrap Spotify. #SpotifyWrapped

Duolingo is scared that I will kidnap their family.

I forgot to do this last year but I have made up for it this year. #ESC250

Ní raibh duais ann don duine is faiseanta ach bhí duaiseanna ann do ghnólachtaí atá ag cur an Ghaeilge chun cinn gach lá. Maith sibh ar fad! There was no award for the most stylish person but there were awards for business that promote Irish every day. Well done everyone! #Gradaim25

The craziest thing about this is that it wouldn't be Canada's first apperance in a Eurovision contest. They participated in Eurovision Young Dancers in 1987 and 1989.

Kinda weird that we get the running order before all of the songs are released...

"Aon post ar fáil in Áras an Uachtaráin, a Catherine?" Buaileann tú le gach duine ag Oireachatas na Samhna, fiú leis an Uachtarán nua tofa! B'fhéidir gur chóir dom freastal air níos minice ná uair amháin gach deich mbliana as seo amach... #OnaS25

Dualgas daonlathach déanta. Democratic duty done. Let's get Catherine Connolly in Áras an Uachtaráin! #Áras25
