As EBU members RTÉ or other broadcasters can withdraw from #Eurovision any year. Past reasons include finances, lack of interest or politics eg Russia didn’t compete in Ukraine 2017. Today’s news from Ireland is a first in recent times: if Israel compete in Vienna, we are out

Ireland will not take part in 2026 Eurovision Song Contest if participation of Israel goes ahead, RTÉ Director-General says

We're going back to Vienna for Eurovision 2026! 🇦🇹 The Austrian capital will be the Host City of the 70th Eurovision Song Contest on 12 | 14 | 16 May eurovision.tv/story/eurovi...
