Ireland was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1995 with the song "Dreamin'", written by Richard Abbott and Barry Woods, and performed by Eddie Friel.

The Irish participating broadcaster, Radio Telefís Éireann (RTÉ), selected its entry through a national final.

In addition, RTÉ was also the host broadcaster –for the third year in a row– and staged the event at the Point Theatre in Dublin –for the second time in a row–, after winning the previous edition with the song "Rock 'n' Roll Kids" by Paul Harrington and Charlie McGettigan.
