In the 21st century, Ireland has fared less well, only reaching the top 10 on two occasions, with Brian Kennedy tenth in 2006 and Jedward eighth in 2011. Ireland finished last in the final for the first time in 2007, which happened again in 2013. Since the introduction of the semi-final round in 2004, Ireland has failed to reach the final nine times, in 2005, 2008, 2009, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019 and 2021. In 2018, Ireland qualified for the first time since 2013 with Ryan O'Shaughnessy and "Together".
