This year's entry


Position in Semi Final draw: N/A
Position in Final draw: 4

What I said prior to the Semi Final:
"Traditional Irish band Dervish will represent their country in Helsinki, performing 'They can't stop the spring'. What a beautiful song it is too - unpretentious, authentic, and eminently likeable. It's refreshing to hear an Irish Eurovision entry that sounds unmistakably Irish."

What I predicted...

My prediction for Semi Final: N/A
My prediction for Final: 18th to 20th
What I predicted prior to the Semi Final:
"This is a hard one to gauge - part of me feels that 'They can't stop the spring' could bring Ireland another decent placing in 2007, yet I simultaneously struggle to see it fending off the competition. On balance, I think a placing in the bottom half of the scoreboard is more likely."
