A Co. Westmeath artist who wrote this year's Irish entry for the Eurovision Song Contest says she is in the process of writing more songs for the competition.
Larissa Tormey co-wrote the song 'Laika Party' for Norwegian singer Emmy, who will be representing Ireland at the contest this week, which is taking place in Basel, Switzerland.
Larissa has been living in Kilbeggan, Co. Westmeath for over two decades and is a classically trained vocalist who has written over 60 songs and collaborated with international musicians and producers.
She says her and Emmy's Eurovision success is a "dream come true."
Daniela Rana has been speaking to Larissa to find out more about how their collaboration came to be:
Emmy will take to the Eurovision stage as the third act of the contest's Semi-Final 2 on Thursday, May 15th.
The semi-final kicks off at 8pm.
