MICEAL O'KANE

a wee bit of an emotional one today. what started as an idea over a coffee in derry in 2017 became something i could never have imagined. tysm to everyone who supported us over the last 8 yrs, and to every team member..the channel would be nothing w/you. my gratitude is endless!

but governments don't participate in eurovision, artists do, right?

that result hit my wee heart harder than i thought tonight 💔 i'm devastated, it really didn't have to be like this. the contest i fell in love with all those years ago feels unrecognisable! so proud of ireland + rté for their stance and decision to withdraw from the contest 🇮🇪

@esc_gabe massive congrats to both of you!! 💍❤️

She said yes 💍

this is MASSIVE, so proud of my country!!

Full statement: "At the General Assembly of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) in July, a number of EBU members raised concerns about the participation of Israel in the Eurovision Song Contest. RTÉ wishes to thank the EBU for the extensive consultation process that was initiated on foot of that meeting, and the extension of the option to withdraw from participation without penalty to December. It is RTÉ's position that Ireland will not take part in the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest if the participation of Israel goes ahead, and the final decision regarding Ireland's participation will be made once the EBU's decision is made. RTÉ feels that Ireland’s participation would be unconscionable given the ongoing and appalling loss of lives in Gaza. RTÉ is also deeply concerned by the targeted killing of journalists in Gaza, and the denial of access to international journalists to the territory, and the plight of the remaining hostages."
