In a press conference, they reacted to their qualification, not hiding their emotions, as they reached an ESC final after several years of Ireland’s eliminations, with a small team and as an independent artist:
I am completely dissociated. Right now, I’m having an out-of-body experience! I’m super proud, as our team is very small, and I am an independent artist, and it’s incredible that we reached here. Our country hasn’t been here since 2018. And I’m the first non-binary artist to qualify. So, that’s incredible!
