The problem with Lucie's song was that like many others, it was a little over performed,with unnecessary near shouting.
I like shouting in songs to stress or enhance part of the song,however it is not always best to do little else.
In a contest like this with many songs being performed like that much the same way,it often will be the 'different' more sedate performance will get noticed and more appreciated in my opinion.
Ireland like the lilting more gently performed songs,Data romping home ages ago with 'all kinds of everything ' also Johnny Login and 'What's another year' to name just 2.
Clearly the UK entry while being better than maybe other years,didn't strike a chord with Ireland,so no votes,which Ireland are perfectly in their rights to not give if they weren't keen on the song and/or performance.

I don't think Ireland has a "type" of song, and those two mentioned were from decades ago
