RTÉ dumps Eurovision contender for breach of competition rules

THIS year’s Eurovision song selection has been made all the easier following the ejection of one of four entries from the competition.

The Late Late Show-Eurosong 2006 programme this coming Friday will showcase just three of the four songs selected for the competition following the discovery that one number was previously released as a single.

Strong Enough, a song by Barry Walsh, one of the four finalists announced, had been published previously, which is in direct contravention of Eurosong and Eurovision rules.
