The Daily PollIT’S FINALLY HERE.
Tonight will see 27 countries from Europe and beyond face off in the Eurovision Song Contest. The final is being held in Liverpool, which is hosting on behalf of last year’s winners Ukraine.
Unfortunately, Ireland won’t be represented this year, after group Wild Youth failed to make it past the semi-finals on Tuesday with their song We Are One.
You might be sick to your sequins already of all the hype around the contest, or maybe for you things haven’t even started yet. Which is it?
Today we’re asking, Will you watch the Eurovision tonight?

TV is basically tabloid TV, Vinny is OK the rest tends to be crap.
A show about Irish people emigrating to London. How edgy and unique. I’d nearly watch it to see what the producers definition of “interesting” is…. but I won’t.
Watch TV3? Are you having a laugh?
Vinny is the only reason I switch the box on, looking forward to the documentary. He holds no punches and sides with no political party. Best entertainment on Irish television! Kenny is scared shitless of him!
Vincent knows more about Gerry than Gerry knows about himself. Should be interesting.
At least it will be a genuine documentary. If rte made it there’d be horror music played in the background and it would be shot in black and white
It will be a rehash of the one TV3 made a few years ago about SF, except this time maybe having an interview with Gerry Adams rather than MMcG.
Shinnerbots will deny the parts they don’t like and rave about the parts they do like.
Dermo,I can get you a good deal on a satellite dish so you will be able to view all the South’s tv channels including tv3.
One fiddy Dermo,good price,special price just for you.

Thanks Franco, but I’m an Irish citizen, resident in this State so I unfortunately get TV3 when I pay my TV licence. Are you in a similar boat?
I’m ecstatic.
Vincent is the only show in town. I’d watch him no matter what station he worked for. Yes,even UTV Ireland, and that’s saying something.
TV3,= copy and paste,
Vincent is no fan of SF … Expect a hatchet job .
He’s no fan of fainna fail, fine Gael, labour either. Expect an in depth balanced well written documentary
Supernova …. Last time TV3 did something on SF they edited out part if a conversation with former SF Cllr Killian Forde to make it sound like he was calling SF a cult .
I can not find fault with Vinny doing a hatchet job on SF. Their comrades in the IRA were experts in their usages.
Good man Cillian, get your retaliation in first.
Unionists/blueshirts assemble! #flutemusic
Thought Shinnerbots likes Vin B? Not so when he turns his eyes on their Dear Leader.
What a complete load of sh!te
you’re a happy chappy
Isn’t TV3 owned by Denis O Brien?
At least we don’t have to pay licence fee for it Not owned by DOB
No.
No it’s owned buy this crowd https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doughty_Hanson_%26_Co
UPC owns TV3.
I think Gerry will be destroyed in a debate by Vincent…
In defence of TV3, they don’t receive and tv licencing money….so at least we don’t have to pay for any of their crap
7% of the Licence Fee goes into the Broadcast Fund which is administered by the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland. The Broadcast Fund is paid out to applicants to fund specific programmes. For example, TV3′s gem “Danger! Amanda at Work” received a grant from the Broadcast Fund.
Similarly, TV3′s drama “Red Rock” received a grant of €800,000 from the Broadcast Fund.

I don’t think there’s any issue with the likes of Red Rock getting money but that other rehashed muck is deplorable.
Riveting – completely engrossing: compelling; the documentary is a riveting account of the freedom fighters journey through the troubled decades.
Hahaha, sneak preview of the wording for the promo for Mr Adams aka ‘I was not in the PIRA’
I can only imagine how cringeworthy their version of Gogglebox will be, watch an Irish TV station yet again make a balls of what is an excellent programme.
have your say
