RTÉ’s Eurovision Head of Delegation Michael Kealy has said it “feels wrong” when others suggest the broadcaster boycott the Eurovision Song Contest.
There has been controversy over Israel’s participation in the 69th Eurovision Song Contest, with many calls for RTÉ to pull out of the event.
That obviously hasn’t happened and Ireland is competing tonight, along with Israel.
Are you disappointed that we are going ahead with the song contest?
Andrea is joined by Newstalk’s Henry McKean reporting from Basel, Frank Dermody, President of Ireland’s Eurovision Fan Club, Zoe Lawlor, Chairperson of the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign and more to discuss.
