Irish turkey will be laughed out of Serbia

THE standard of Irish entries in the Eurovision Song Contest has gone down in recent years.

However, I never thought we could go as low as to send a turkey to represent us in Serbia.

When Europe sees Dustin, the fact that we are one of most affluent and successful countries in the continent will be forgotten. We will be the talk ofEurope for all the wrong reasons.

Last Sunday three Oscars were awarded to Irish citizens. This could help us in our bid to develop the Irish film industry.

Our Eurovision entry, on the other hand, will not just embarrass us but could put this potential investment in jeopardy.
