Ireland failed to qualify for Saturday's Eurovision 2019 final as they failed to wow during the second semi-final on Thursday.
The country's act Sarah McTernan, 25, had hoped to impress viewers and turn around Ireland's success.
However the nation, who last won the contest with Eimear Quinn in 1996, crashed out last week after not receiving enough votes.
Meanwhile the Netherlands' Duncan Laurence, who is also favourite to win the competition, made it through alongside Sweden's John Lundvik and Russia's Sergey Lazarev.

Some cast doubt on whether 25-year-old Laurence's stripped-back staging would connect with an audience watching at home.
Those doubts proved unfounded after his name was called as one of 10 entries through to the 26-strong final on Saturday.
Lundvik also qualified after an emotive performance of his gospel-tinged track Too Late For Love.
Lazarev moved through to the final after wowing the audience with his impassioned performance of the song Scream.
North Macedonia's Tamara Todevska, Albania's Jonida Maliqi, Azerbaijan's Chingiz, Denmark's Leonora, Norway's KEiiNO, Switzerland's Luca Hanni and Malta's Michela also qualified.
Armenia's Srbuk, Moldova's Anna Odobescu, Latvia's Carousel, Romania's Ester Peony, Austria's PAENDA, Croatia's Roko and Lithuania's Jurij Veklenko did not.
The public vote made up 50% of the total vote, with the other half determined by a professional jury in each participating country.
The UK, as one of the "big five" countries, along with France, Germany, Italy and Spain, are already assured of a place in the grand final.
Last year's winners Israel also do not have to qualify via the semi-finals.
