Ireland has won the contest a total of seven times to date. Dana was Ireland’s first winner in 1970, followed by Johnny Logan‘s wins in 1980 & 1997, Linda Martin in 1992 with a song written by Logan, Niamh Kavanagh in 1993, Paul Harrington & Charlie McGettigan in 1994, and Eimear Quinn in 1996.
Ireland won three years in a row (1992, 1993 & 1994), a feat not repeated by any other country, and gave a platform to the Irish dancing act Riverdance who performed during the interval in 1993.
Also available individually.
Dana
Dana won the song contest in 1970, the first Ireland entry to triumph since its inception.
Dana (Rosemary Scallon) won the 1970 contest with the charming song “All Kinds of Everything”. The song went on to sell millions of copies, topping the charts across Europe.
Johnny Logan
Johnny Logan holds the distinction of being the only singer to have won the song contest more than once. In fact, Johnny Logan has won three times, the only person to have done so, twice as a performer in 1980 & 1987, and again as a songwriter in 1992.
In 1980, Logan won with “What’s Another Year” and again in 1986 with “Hold Me Now” (which he performed & wrote). He also wrote Linda Martin’s 1992 winning song “Why Me?”.
