No Eurovision final place for Ireland

Ireland have failed to make it to the Eurovision final this weekend.

The youngest-ever entrant, 17-year-old Molly Sterling from Co Tipperary, did not get through last night's second semi-final in Vienna.

Ireland was up against 17 other countries to win one of 10 spots in Saturday's final.

Molly performed her song Playing With Numbers, which she co-wrote with Greg French.

Meanwhile, UK act Electro Velvet will perform on Saturday.The UK's among five of Eurovision's biggest donors, meaning it automatically qualifies for the final.
