The New Eurovision Voting Regulations announced by the EBU last week, are still making the mainstream news across not only Europe but the globe – see here

One of Ireland’s largest national radio stations “NewsTalk Radio”, invited Eurovision Ireland onto their show to discuss these rule changes and the allegations of vote-buying. You may recognize the presenter – Mr Pat Kenny – who hosted the Eurovision Song Contest with Michelle Rocca in Dublin in 1988 – which turned out to be one of the all time classic Eurovision Song Contests. It was also the contest that brought Celine Dion to recognition to most of Europe.
