RTÉ confirmed today that it is seeking song submissions for next year’s contest.
The national broadcaster announced that song submissions for next year’s competition, which will be held in Sweden, are officially open from today.
The announcement makes no mention of The Late Late Show, which usually hosts the domestic final that sees an act chosen to send to Europe. Speaking to The Journal after last month’s contest, Philly McMahon, a co-director with theatre production company THISISPOPBABY, said: “For me – in my vested interest as both a fan but also as somebody who puts on shows in Ireland – I think that RTÉ needs to recommit to the Eurovision and that often starts with budget, it starts with organisational buy-in.
