It has been announced that Nicky Byrne will represent Ireland in Eurovision 2016 in SwedenHowever, the method by which he was selected has come into question.

The selection of Byrne is a departure from the usual Eurosong format, which has been the process used over the last eight years.

John McHugh, head of entertainment at RTÉ television, said: "Direct selection has proven to be a successful method for other countries and we felt that this year it would give us the best chance at success".
