Kilkenny’s Enya to represent Ireland at Junior Eurovision 2024
A talented Kilkenny girl will represent Ireland at the Junior Eurovision song contest.
Enya Cox Dempsey, from Castlecomer, has been crowned as this year’s Junior Eurovision entry for Ireland after wowing judges in the ‘Junior Eurovision Éire’ series on TG4 over a five week period.
Enya will sing a newly written song “Le Chéile” (entirely as Gaeilge) as one of the 15 entries in this year’s competition, which will be broadcast on Saturday, November 16 on TG4 at 5pm.
Enya lives in Castlecomer with her mother Róisín and the family dog Pip, with her uncle uncle Paddy, grandad Paddy Sr and granny Helen living next door.
The Kilkenny teenager gave a memorable rendition of Olivia Rodrigo’s “Vampire” on last year’s Toy Show and has performed in local pantomimes and shows with her Music Generation club all her life.
