The grand final of the song contest (that Ireland will hopefully be in) will be live on air Saturday the 17th of May 2025 and will also be available to Irish viewers on the RTÉ services.
The latest odds in the bookies for Ireland to have a successful contest isn't too bad, with latest odds from Ladbrokes giving Ireland 10/11 to qualify for the final.
And if Ireland are to make it to the final the odds on Ireland finishing in the top 10 is set at 14/1, with the Irish managing a sixth place finish this time last year with Bambie Thug at Eurovision 2024.
The bookies favourites to take the title home are Sweden at 10/11, followed by Austria at 11/4, and Netherlands then at 12/1.
