Statement by Taoiseach Simon Harris on Bambie Thug at Eurovision 2024

Ireland salutes Bambie Thug

I want to congratulate Bambie Thug for a stunning performance and tour de force at Eurovision 2024.

They performed with passion, stopped us in our tracks and did us proud. The eruption of applause in the stadium at the end of Ireland’s performance spoke for itself.

Congratulations to Switzerland on the win and well done to Sweden for hosting another showstopper. Thank you to our closest musical ally in Europe - Australia - for our only douze points!

It’s Bambie Thug’s night as far as we’re concerned.

Well done Bambie.
