Let’s have look back at this day twenty four years ago, May 15th 1993, and we’ll never forget the XXXVIII Edition of the Eurovision Song Contest which took part in the Green Glens Arena, Millstreet. Watch the videos below with the voting (with Terry Wogan of the BBC), and the full show (Norwegian commentary), or look at some of our other memories from the 1993 Eurovision.
An iconic still of Noel C. Duggan celebrating Niamh Kavanagh’s win at Eurovision 1993. His wife Maureen can just be seen still seated on his right, while the now President of Ireland Michael D. Higgins seen behind him.

The 2018 Eurovision will be held in Lisbon, and they will take the title of the most westerly Eurovision … but we can hold onto the title of the smallest city/town to host the competition 🙂

@ditisjesse In fairness we only claim the smallest town to host the eurovision, not the most westerly. we'll probably keep that record 🙂
