[Niko]

What a great and interesting thread, Ian!  Thank you very much. 

I was checking the votes and I noticed that Finland has not been too generous to Ireland - only 1 x 12 pts in 1987. 

[ijm123]

I must admit I've enjoyed doing these threads again and updating them with the scores and writers

The UK has certainly been a bit more generous to the Irish than Finland, especially in recent years

[My Star]

Some lovely Irish entries, and yet we've sent a good few atrocious ones.

1994 really is a class act altogether.

[Martial]

agreed on 94 but it's only my second fave irish entry
