The Irish representative at the Eurovision Song Contest 2005 was determined through the “You’re a Star” talent show. A number of heats were held, reducing the 12 selected finalists to 3. These three acts then sang a potential Eurovision song, with televoting eliminating acts from the competition over two weeks, leaving one act as the winner.
