Ireland to join in 'X-Factor' voting

Ireland will be able to vote in 'The X-factor' for the first time in three years.

Thousands of hopefuls turned up at the auditions in Croke Park this weekend - the first time the auditions have come to Dublin.

Presenter Dermot O' Leary says it is great that they have opened up the voting lines and reinstated Irish voters.

'X-Factor' judge Louis Walsh has said he hopes to find another Irish star this year.
