Today it was Ireland’s turn to select their entry for Junior Eurovision 2024. Just a while ago, Junior Eurovision Éire, the Irish national selection for Junior Eurovision 2024, was concluded. Junior Eurovision Éire served for another year as the country’s representative selection method for the children’s contest and was broadcasted from Dublin, Ireland.

Hosted by Louise Cantillon and following the votes of a jury exclusively, Enya Cox Dempsey was crowned as the winner.

After three heats featuring cover songs performed by the young competing artists, the jury selected three to move on straight to the final. Therefore, the following three artists competed for the Irish representation in Junior Eurovision Éire 2024 final:

  • Lottie O’Driscoll Murray
  • Enya Cox Dempsey
  • Isla McManus

The final consisted of two competitive rounds:

  • During the first round, the three finalists performed two covers, including one from the Eurovision Song Contest. The judging panel, including Niamh Ní Chróinín, Tadhg Ó Gríofa, and Linda Martin, selected Lottie O’Driscoll Murray and Enya Cox Dempsey to advance to the second round.
  • In the second round, the two remaining finalists performed “Le chéile,” the song chosen by RTÉ as the country’s entry to Junior Eurovision 2024.

Following the committee’s decision, Enya Cox Dempsey was named the winner of Junior Eurovision Éire 2024 and will thus represent the country at the 22nd Junior Eurovision Song Contest with “Le chéile.”
