A local Eurovision winner says it would be a 'good idea' for RTÉ to launch its own song contest this year.
Charlie McGettigan was speaking to Shannonside Northern Sound following the announcement the state broadcaster will boycott this year's competition over Israel's participation.

The Drumshanbo resident also says Eurosong should not be scrapped entirely:
