Dublin band Wild Youth will represent Ireland at Eurovision 2023 in Liverpool in May.
Their winning song, 'We Are One', was chosen on the Eurosong competition on a Late Late Show special on Friday night, decided by a combination of votes awarded by the public, an international jury and a national jury. The band narrowly defeated 19-year-old Jennifer Connolly's bid, 'Midnight Summer Night'.
