Lottie O’Driscoll has been chosen to represent Ireland at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2025, which will take place in Tbilisi, Georgia later this year. She earned her spot after winning Junior Eurovision Éire 2025, triumphing over Isla McManus in a thrilling final showdown.

This marks a moment of redemption for Lottie, who reached the final in last year’s competition and finished in second place.

The final was hosted by Louise Cantillon, and featured performances from the three remaining artists, each delivering Irish-language covers of popular songs and Eurovision classics.

The result was determined by a jury panel made up of two permanent judges – broadcaster Niamh Ní Chróinín and social media star Hugh Carr – joined this week by special guest Linda Martin, who famously won the Eurovision Song Contest 1992 for Ireland.

As the winner of Junior Eurovision Éire 2025, Lottie O’Driscoll will now have her Junior Eurovision entry specially composed for her ahead of the competition in Tbilisi. The song will be revealed later this year.

Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2025 takes place on December 13th 2025.
