FSC Ireland

== Introduction ==
Ireland is an island in north-western Europe, separated from Great Britain mainly by the Irish Sea. The island of Ireland has been divided/partitioned geopolitically since 1921 between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland (which is currently part of the United Kingdom). The population of Ireland is approximately 5.089 million people, with 1.285 million currently residing in the metro area of its Capital City, Dublin.
Ireland is globally recognised for its traditional styles of music, such as “Trad” or “Folk” music, which generally feature instruments such as the bodhrán (Irish Drum), fiddle, harp, tin whistle, flute, accordion, uilleann pipes and many more, sometimes accompanied by Sean-nós style of singing.  One of the most famous Irish songs of all time is “The Fields of Athenry”, which tells the tale of “An Gorta Mór” (The Great Hunger), the Great Famine in Ireland in the 1840’s. The story follows Michael as he is deported to Australia as his punishment for stealing food.
During the 1960’s Ireland enjoyed a revival of interest in traditional Irish music, leading to the formation of groups such as The Dubliners, The Chieftains, The Wolf Tones, Planxty, The Clancy Brothers and individuals such as Seán Ó Riada & Christy Moore. Throughout the 1970’s 80’s & 90’s, many Irish artists have incorporated elements of the traditional style into contemporary Rock / Pop (Fusion) - Most notably Enya, Sinéad O’Connor, Clannad, The Cranberries, Mary Black, Sharon Shannon, The Coors, The Saw Doctors and The Pogues, popularising Irish Music with global audiences. Today there are many famous Irish musicians & bands, with stars like U2, Westlife, Hozier, The Script and Dermot Kennedy, Lyra, Niall Horan, Imelda May all hailing from the Emerald Isle.
=== Ireland's History in the FSC ===
Ireland has been a recurring participant in the Forum Song Contest since its premier show in March 2009. After show #4 Ireland enjoyed some success, placing 3rd with Industry “My Baby’s Waiting”, followed by 9 Top-10 results over subsequent years, but they would not claim their first victory in the FSC until show #45, Nov 2012 with The Script feat. will.i.am and their iconic song “Hall of Fame”.
Show #48 resulted in another 3rd place outcome for Kodaline with their hit “All I Want” in Feb 2013 and later the same year in the Dec 2013 show #58, Hozier would take the runner-up position for Ireland with his debut single “Take me to Church”.
The next couple of years provided 4 more top-10 results however Ireland would not achieve podium success again until show #95, Jan 2017 where Corkonian songstress Lyra accomplished 2nd place with her hit single “Emerald”, after a hiatus from the competition for 13months (#79-#91).
Ireland was successful once again in show #103, Sept 2017, winning the show with “Black Tears” from retro Dubliner Imelda May, which would eventually go on to win Song of the Year 2017 in the Annual Special Edition "A Night With The Stars - The Best of 2017".
After another 16month break away from the competition (#106-#121), Ireland returned to FSC#122, April 2019 with a 2nd place success entry from Dermot Kennedy with his breakout single “Power Over Me”. Show #125, July 2019 provided one more 3rd placing from Walking on Cars “Monster”, followed by 3 further top-10 results up to show #141 when ultimately Ireland would see its longest hiatus from the competition for over 2years (#142-#167).
Ireland would not participate in the Forum Song Contest again until Feb 2023, which has thus far seen a triumphant return to the competition, claiming runner-up position in both shows #168 (Feb) & #169 (Mar) with Cian Ducrot and his haunting debut single “All For You” and The Scratch with their energetic, metal-trad-drinking song “Another Round” respectively, which was boosted by the country’s third 1st placing in the contest with returning artist Hozier alongside video game composer Bear McCreary and their powerful orchestral performance “Blood Upon the Snow” in episode #170, April 2023, which would conclusively go on to be awarded Song of the Year 2023 in the FSC Annual Special Edition “A Night With The Stars – The Best of 2023”. 
The remainder of 2023 would see Ireland earn 4 more top-10 placings in the competition with a further podium success in Dec 2023, Ed #178 with Limerick based Indie-Folk trio, KingFishr and their mighty trad-esc single, “Heart In The Water” ranking 3rd.
