With Nicky Byrne busy representing Ireland at this weekend’s Eurovision, a spot has opened up for a new Official Irish Eurovision Results Reader. You know, the person who’s like, “Hello from Dublin!” and reads out the points awarded to each country.
So who will replace Nicky in the role this year? RTÉ has confirmed to DailyEdge.ie that Winning Streak presenter Sinead Kennedy will be doing the honours this year.
Good luck, Sinead!
