Ireland's Eurovision entrant is getting ready to take to the stage in Rotterdam in the Netherlands this evening.

Dubliner Lesley Roy will sing her song Maps at the first of the semi finals, hoping to make it through to Saturday's showcase.

This is the first Eurovision song contest to take place in two years after last years competition was cancelled due to Covid-19.

This year most of the same artists are taking part, but they've had to enter new songs.

Lesley Roy from Balbriggan, will be flying the Irish flag this year with her song Maps.

1994 Eurovision winner Paul Harrington who sang Rock n Roll Kids says Lesley is in with a good chance.

A smaller audience of 3,500 are allowed to attend this year due to Covid restrictions.

Currently, both the Icelandic and Polish delegations are quarantining after positive test results.
