The 2021 Eurovision Song Contest is finally set to go ahead in the Netherlands on Tuesday after being delayed last year by the pandemic. With no winner in 2020, the last person to hold the trophy was the Netherlands Duncan Laurence with his song Arcade. Lesley Roy from Balbriggan, north Dublin, will be flying the Irish flag in Eurovision this year with her song Maps. Ireland has famously won Eurovision more than any other country - with seven wins under its belt - could Lesley make it eight? Australia will do a “live-on-tape performance” instead, as their team believed it was too much of a risk to travel.
