Ireland has officially confirmed its entrant for the Eurovision song contest in 2017.
The act who will be flying flag in Kiev, Ukraine, will be none other than Hometown singer Brendan Murray .
Brendan who has been a member of boy band since he was 17, was confirmed as Ireland’s chosen act by Louis Walsh on The Late Late Show last night.
Speaking to host Ryan Tubridy Murray said: “I’m honoured and excited to be representing Ireland in Kiev in the biggest music competition in the world.”
“I’m really looking forward to it. I was born in 1996, the last time Ireland won, so I hope that will bring me luck! But most of all I’m really exited about finding a great song that I can take to the Eurovision stage and give it my all.”
Although no official sing has been chosen it is understood that both Murray and Walsh will work with a team of writers over the coming months.
