would be chosen "to bring awareness" to the disease.

Instead the band Wild Youth was chosen
to fly the Irish flag at the song contest
in Liverpool in May.

They're up against 14 other countries who'll
be cut down to 10 in a semi-final.

Despite its record seven wins,
Ireland has only qualified for the grand final
twice since 2013.]
