Ireland took part in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Madrid, Spain, with "Le chéile" performed by Enya Cox Dempsey.

Irish-language broadcaster TG4 organised the national final Junior Eurovision Éire 2024 to select the Irish entry for the contest.

[3] Ireland first entered the top ten in 2016, when Zena Donnelly represented the country with "Bríce ar bhríce" and ended up in 10th place out of 17 entries with 122 points; this would remain as Ireland's only top ten entry and its best result until 2022,[4] when Sophie Lennon represented it with the song "Solas" and finished 4th with 150 points.

Unlike in previous years, rather than contestants compete in heats for a ticket to the semi-final, all ten finalists performed in the first show with two being eliminated from the competition.

Kiefer Byrne and Robyn Doyle did not advance to the next round, while the remaining six contestants progressed to the semi-final.

[14] After revealing Enya Cox Dempsey and Lottie O’Driscoll Murray as the top 2, they performed their rendition of the 2024 Irish entry "Le chéile".

Enya Cox Dempsey was later revealed as the winner chosen by the jury, earning the right to represent Ireland at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Madrid.

[15] The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2024 is set to take place at Caja Mágica in Madrid, Spain on 16 November 2024.
