2. This year’s Eurovision demonstrated that hiding your face is key to progressing to the final
Norway’s entry sported a mysterious Daft Punk helmet while Azerbaijan featured a man wearing a horse mask. Concealing your identity with a plastic bag seems like the next logical step.
4. Can you just take a second to imagine their little ‘intro’ video?
Every Eurovision artist has to record a little video showcasing their country. (If memory serves correctly, Brendan Murray’s featured him in Croke Park.) Imagine Rubberbandits bringing Europe on a guided tour of Limerick.
Don’t listen to any gowls who claim Limerick isn’t nice. Here’s where we have cans.

5. Honestly, what have we got to lose at this point?
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
All we need to do is distract Louis Walsh and we can make this happen, people.
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
6. Plus they seem like they’re mad up for it…
They’ve even come up with a ‘political’ concept.
Do it, RTÉ.

The people of Ireland
