Cork teenager Lottie O'Driscoll-Murray has been chosen to represent Ireland at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in Tbilisi, Georgia, in December.
After her victory in TG4's Junior Eurovision Éire series, the 14-year-old will sing the Irish-language ballad Rúin (Secrets) live on Saturday 13 December, competing against 17 other countries including Spain, France, Portugal, Italy, and reigning champions Georgia.
Voting for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest will open at JESC.TV - and unlike the senior competition, Junior Eurovision fans can vote for their own country.
After Lottie was chosen as Ireland's Junior Eurovision act, she celebrated her win with her mother, Celine, and Charlotte, her grandmother.
Lottie reached the final selection stage of Junior Eurovision Éire last year. She has previously performed on The Late Late Toy Show and at the Cork Opera House.
"She's back, better than ever - and she's definitely going to do it! She's going to win!" said grandmother Charlotte.
Congratulating Lottie on her win, Laura Ní Cheallaigh, Commissioning Editor, TG4, said: "As we mark 10 years of TG4's participation in the competition, we are proud to celebrate a decade of exceptional young talent and Irish-language songs on the European stage.
"Junior Eurovision is a wonderful platform for showcasing the next generation of young Irish musical talent, creativity, and the Irish language to huge European audiences.
"We wish Lottie every success in Georgia and encourage everyone in Ireland to support her in the final in Tbilisi on December 13, which will be broadcast live on TG4 worldwide."
TG4 will look back on 10 years of Ireland at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest with a special programme on Sunday 7 December.
