The Irish Head of Delegation, Michael Kealy, spoke to Éirevision, and he gave an idea of what the Irish national selection might look like.
The Late Late Show
The Late Late Show will probably be the format again in which the next Irish entrant will be chosen. The well-known Irish talk show will probably host the next Irish selection at the beginning of 2024, but there probably will be changes, for example, there will be no bleachers anymore to give the selection show more of a talent show vibe, rather than a talk show appearance. This is what Michael Kealy wants, but whether RTÉ, the national Irish broadcaster, agrees is up for debate.
Just like in the Irish selection of 2023 Michael Kealy brought forward the idea that some popular might already progress to the national final.
Eurovision 2023
In the contest of 2023 in Liverpool (United Kingdom), Ireland was represented by Wild Youth with the song “We Are One”. They did not make it into the Grand Final, as they came in 12th (of 15) in Semi-final 1, marking the fourth consecutive time Ireland was not in the Grand Final.
