Reviewing Eurosong 2025: Taking Ireland to space

Comedy, JOYEurovision: The Show, Music, National Finals, Society & Culture

As we enter the calm before the Eurovision semi final storm, it’s the perfect opportunity to check in with Ireland.

After teasing that Eurosong would be its own production, we ended up with another special edition of The Late Late Show. And this special edition delivered a win to Norwegian singer EMMY with a song about Laika the dog.

Michael and Io take a rocket ship into the Irish cosmos to explore what else was vying for the Irish title.

Can Eurosong ever break free?

Who should be back next year?

What can a dog do for Ireland?
