A protest was held outside RTÉ Studios this week calling for Ireland to boycott this year’s Eurovision due to Israel’s participation in the competition whilst it is bombarding Gaza.

The Irish Boycott Eurovision 2024 Coalition Ireland should not take part and called for Israel, “a genocidal apartheid state”, to be removed from the competition.

A spokesperson for RTÉ said in response that Eurovision is a “non-political contest designed to unite audiences and bring people together through a shared love of music and entertainment”.
