RTÉ wants ‘killer song’ to put end to Eurovision drought

RTÉ is looking for a “killer song” to land Ireland its first Eurovision title in 22 years.

Despite being the record holder for the number of wins, Ireland won its seventh and last Eurovision title in 1996 — something the State broadcaster has sought to rectify in the past month.

The 63rd Eurovision Song Contest will take place in Lisbon, Portugal, with semi-finals on May 8 and 10 and the final on May 12.
