Austria took home the Eurovision crown on Saturday night, with Ireland failing to make it to the Grand Final. But, more shockingly, the Irish public awarded Israel 10 points, and the Irish Jury handed over 7. Is Ireland’s support for Israel stronger than we realised?

Joining Andrea to discuss this is Zoe Lawlor, Chairperson of the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Johnny Fallon, Co-Author of the 'Eurovision Handbook', Ian O’Doherty, Columnist with the Irish Independent and Kirsty Blake Knox, Columnist with the Irish Independent.
