We’ve just been through a disappointment. It’s natural to feel sad. But remember we’re all here for you.

Linda Martin is here for you.

I really thought Ireland would get through. I have 3 favourites..Austria Sweden n Netherlands #eurovision

In our disappointment, we’ve been coming up with some interesting ideas for what we should do next year

Next year we send an act that sing entirely in Irish and insult everyone without them knowing #Eurovision #Ireland

Right result. Hoping that RTE revise our selection proces We'll never win again if we keep sending lacklustre songs #Ireland #eurovision

And there’s been a lot of pining for Jedward

Whether you like Jedward or not you know they literally put Ireland back on the #Eurovision map and now they're gone and so are we.

Ireland didn't get through! We're sending Jedward next year as your punishment, Europe. #Eurovision

There may be one small consolation, however – Paddy Power has promised to refund all bets placed on Ireland to win the Eurovision outright. They think it’s the “only fair thing” to do. Sound chaps.

As it happened: Ireland’s Eurovision Song Contest semi-final>
