The final takes place on Saturday in Rotterdam.
Ireland has missed out on a place in the Eurovision Grand Final.

Despite being well received, the Dubliner failed to get the required number of votes to qualify.
Her performance was met with rapturous applause from the live audience and plenty of praise across social media.
