I e mailed RTE today...

Hi all

I run the Eurovision website www.escpost.eu .

I wanted to run a few idea past you see what you thought about Eurovision

It may be worthwhile reviving the Castlebar song Contest, it has a long history of being won by Irish Eurovision winners and the Swedes! 

You hold a final with about twelve songs on a Saturday in Castlebar or somewhere else down the country eg like Killarney. There are six chosen by a panel and six songs which have been selected out of twenty from an online selection. 

All voting is done by half jury/half televote

The one thing I keep hearing (which the Danes are doing) is a song with a catchy chorus (think ear worm).

The other option is a sweeping enormous new age or ballad number by someone like Clannad if you are doing an internal selection.

It might be time to start listening to the public opinion again.

Regards
Dennis O Rourke
