I’d like to say it was a shock but I’m afraid it comes as no great surprise that Ireland has once again failed to qualify for The Eurovision. Even the patriotic punts were down this year with only €7,000 wagered on Sinead Mulvey & Black Daisy. A friend of mine suggested words instead of ‘Et cetera’ might have helped us get through! There’s always one eh?!
Ah well, all is not lost! If you were unfortunate enough to have a bet riding on Ireland in this year’s Eurovision, then fear not my friends, because Paddy Power is refunding all bets placed on Ireland in this year’s song contest. Well, it’s the least we could do after suffering over two hours of some atrocious music to get the result! Here’s to next year, or the year after…or the year after…or the year after!

With the islamic EU which has been served to us by the Leftist Gobshites this would even have an impact in such a shitty competition and it has to be won by Turkey or Albania.
It is time to leave that fecking EU!
