The second Eurovision semi-final took place in Kyiv last night, and as you may know by now, Ireland failed to qualify for tomorrow night's Grand Final for the fourth time in five years.
Our entry this year was former Hometown singer Brendan Murray, whose ballad 'Dying to Try' unfortunately didn't do the business for us.
Needless to say, the Twitter jury was out in force and reactions to our failure to reach the final ranged from hilarity to disgust to mortification and everything in between.
See the Twitter reaction below - and if you can bear to put yourself through it without an Irish entrant to cheer for, the Eurovision final kicks off at 8pm tomorrow.
Jesus Christ - another year of shame for Ireland - did Johnny Logan & Linda Martin die in the GPO for this?! #EUROVISION

Now Ireland, don't kid yourself. He wasn't good enough and the song wasn't good enough. END. OF. #Eurovision #ESC2016

I think I can sum up the Irish entry for us all - he's good but he's no Micky Joe.#Eurovision

Sad for Harry Potter like Irish entry. I think having Louis Walsh as a mentor might've been the first clue #Eurovision

Being an Irish #eurovision fan is akin to being a Man Utd fan. Harking for long gone days of glory.
