Enya Cox Dempsey has been announced as the winner of Junior Eurovision Eire and will now represent Ireland at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2024 with the song Le Chéile (Together).
The Castlecomer native impressed the judges all the way through the national competition on TG4, and won it over the weekend, securing her place to represent her country in one of the biggest song competitions in the world.
The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2024 is the upcoming 22nd edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Radiotelevisión Española (RTVE).
The contest is set to take place on November 16, 2024 at Caja Mágica in Madrid, Spain, marking the first time that the contest is held in the country as well as the first Eurovision event in Madrid, and Spain in general, since the Eurovision Song Contest 1969.
Seventeen countries will participate in the contest, with Cyprus and San Marino returning after six and eight-year absences respectively, while the United Kingdom opted not to participate after doing so the previous year.
