Ireland has sadly failed to qualify for the grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest, despite the best efforts of this year's entry, Wild Youth.
The Dublin-born indie band were among the five acts eliminated during the 15-strong first live semi-final of the week at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool.
Wild Youth's frontman, Conor O'Donohoe, took to the stage in a sparkling gold jumpsuit, but sadly, the band lost out on securing a place in the final after having high hopes that could make it for the first time since 2018.
