Ireland's two-time Eurovison winner Johnny Logan has said that he has no plans to dust down his white suit to sing for Ireland again at the song contest but added that he would like to involved behind the scenes with a future Irish entry.
Speaking on the Late Late Show on Friday night ahead of the Eurovision final next Saturday night, Logan, who won the contest with What's Another Year in 1980 and Hold Me Now in 1987, joked, "My white suit is in the Abba museum in Sweden. I've the black leather jacket at the moment, I'm the bad guy."
Eurovision fans had suggested that the Australian-born Irish singer should represent Ireland for the third time considering his winning streak and the fact that he penned Linda Martin's winning entry Why Me? in 1992.

Late Late Show host Ryan Tubridy said that Logan, "knew the competition, knew how to write a song, his voice was impeccable, and his credentials were impeccable."
"I will do anything for Ireland," Logan said. "Being Irish is something I'm so proud of, I really am. Maybe I might stand in the background . . . and help the writers."
The 62-year-old singer sang a medley of his two Eurovision hits on Friday's Late Late while Paul Harrington sang Ireland's 1994 Eurovision winner, Rock 'n Roll Kids.
Helping out on the chorus were a number of celebrity guests, including long-time Eurovision commentator Marty Whelan, Crystal Swing's Derek Burke, and radio presenter Mairéad Farrell.
