The song she will perform is called Story Of My Life.
She told The Irish Times:Â “I had been thinking about potentially submitting a song for a few years, but this year finally felt like the right time.”
“I feel that for a while now more and more people are speaking up and telling their own story, being vulnerable sharing their own ups and downs and the story of their own life.”
