With a still record-breaking seven wins under our belts, Ireland has gone through a Eurovision rough patch in the last while. Failing to reach the final seven times in the last 12 years, the country is looking to Ryan O’Shaughnessy and his song ‘Together’ to drag us out of our semi-final slump and put us back on top.
Although our possible savior was already used to big television audiences, having reached the final of Britain’s Got Talent back in 2012, he originally wrote and entered the song into the selection process for another act to perform. After receiving word his song was successful, it wasn’t long before the suggestion came up that maybe Ryan should take a bigger role.
