Turkey ár lá as Dustin eyes the beak time

“TURKEY ár lá” — Dustin yesterday proclaimed Ireland’s day of glory will come again when he leads Éire to victory over 44 other countries in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest.

The rebel leader of the Fianna Fowl party is expected to beat Tony Blair and Bertie Ahern to European domination, when he takes to the Eurovision stage in May to perform Irelande Douze Pointe.

The song — a parody of the kitsch song contest — was chosen by thousands of voters in a television vote on Saturday night. It was one of six songs contesting the final of Eurosong 2008, which was presented live on RTÉ from University Concert Hall, Limerick.
