Did you watch the Eurovision Grand Final last night?

Ireland were not in competition last night after being knocked out at the semi-final stage on Thursday night.

AUSTRIA’S JJ WON the Eurovision Song Contest with his pop-opera ballad Wasted Love, narrowly beating Israel into second place after the scores were announced at the end of last night’s Grand Final. 

The buildup to the Eurovision had been dominated for the second year running by criticism of Israel’s continued inclusion.

RTÉ were among a group of national broadcasters calling on contest organisers the European Broadcasting Union to facilitate a debate on the matter. 

Ireland meanwhile were not in competition last night after being knocked out at the semi-final stage on Thursday night

So after last night’s show, we want to know, did you watch the Eurovision final last night?
