A protest has taken place outside RTE studios, calling for a boycott of Eurovision this year.

The demonstration was organised by the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign, and was held over the song contest happening in Tel Aviv.

Ivan was joined by the Israeli Ambassador to Ireland, Ophir Kareev, who thinks the mixing of politics with a cultural event like Eurovision is unfair.
