Ireland’s Eurovision Boycott - Henry McKean Reports

Tonight is the 70th anniversary of Eurovision in Vienna. It’s the first of the two semi-finals, with the final on Saturday. However, 5 countries are boycotting it because of Israel’s continued participation, including Ireland. RTÉ will not air it and instead will show the ‘My Lovely Horse’ episode of Father Ted. The creator of the sitcom, Graham Linehan, isn’t happy and says using his show is a tool of “antisemitic harassment”...To discuss further, Seán is joined by Eurovision fan, Newstalk’s Henry McKean.Image: Channel 4
