A north Dublin town has come out in force to support its home-grown star as she bids to win Eurovision for Ireland for the first time in 25 years.

Lesley Roy will perform Maps in the first semi-final of the competition on Tuesday night at Rotterdam’s Ahoy venue – and locals in Balbriggan are behind her all the way.
