Ireland Twelve Points) is a 2008 novelty song by Irish puppet act Dustin the Turkey, played by John Morrison.

[1] According to Dustin, he did not consider "Irelande Douze Pointe" as a song, but rather an anthem or hymn to unite Europe, saying "It's getting everyone dancing and rejoicing in the street.

Eurosong 2008 was the national final format developed by RTÉ in order to select Ireland's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2008.

[5][6] On 4 November 2007, RTÉ opened a submission period where artists and composers were able to submit their entries for the competition until 23 January 2008.

According to the rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Four" (France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top nine songs from each semi-final as determined by televoting progress to the final, and a tenth was determined by back-up juries.

Here it was performed 11th in the running order, following Poland's Isis Gee "For Life" and preceding Andorra's Gisela with "Casanova".

John Morrison, playing as Dustin, later spoke to reporters, noting that he was disgusted by the result, saying "We gave it a great performance.

[20] Another panelist, Bill Hughes, defended Dustin, saying the song had a "strong female vocal", was "very funny" and had a "great melody".

In a satirical comment, he then later said "So, if I've cursed this, fair play, I've saved the country a fortune so I'm happy with that", referring to the Irish dominance of the Eurovision Song Contest in the '90s.
