A total of 6 acts competed at today show:

  1. Zena Donnelly – I d’Aonair
  2. Lisa-Rose McMahon – Bris Amach
  3. Muireann Vaughan – An Miongháire
  4. Aimee Banks – Réalta Na Mara
  5. David Kennedy – Fuar
  6. Aislí Moran – Aisling

The Irish national final was recorded in September, but the winner hadn’t been revealed until now. The 6 acts that competed at tonight’s broadcasted show included four qualifiers from the previous semi-finals plus two special wildcard winners announced during the final: Lisa-Rose McMahon and Aislí Moran.

The Irish national selection was formed by five pre-recorded shows where a professional jury, made up of  Niamh Kavanagh (Winner of Eurovision 1993 and also 2010 entrant), Brian Kennedy (Ireland at ESC 2006), and Stiofán Ó Fearail from Seo Linn band, was in charge of choosing the winner.

What do you think about the first Irish choice in the history of Junior Eurovision?
