Douze points for Irish fans taking Eurovision by storm, despite absence of Wild Youth from final

Tricolours, Jedward costumes, and a possibility our record is about to be eclipsed... Anna O'Donoghue reports from Eurovision 2023 HQ in Liverpool 

Irish fans gathered in Liverpool for Eurovision 2023 fly the flag.

Tricolours wave proudly at Chavasse Park in Liverpool early on Saturday morning, just mere hours before the Grand Final of the 67th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. 

Ireland may not be competing in Saturday’s Grand Final but we’re still here. The Irish fans are proudly taking Liverpool by storm.
