This is a random round - if you can find a common thread in these songs, you're something of a genius (aside from being Irish and in Eurovision, obviously).
So, in chronological order, first up, from 1967, is Sean Dunphy with If I Could Choose. Sadly, youtube doesn't have the whole performance, so you'll have to make do with a mini-soundclip in this Contest roundup (he pops up around the 6 minute mark).
Next, from 1975, it's The Swarbriggs - minus their 2. Here's That's What Friends Are For.
And now, from 1979, here is Cathal Dunne with Happy Man.
And, lastly, from 1993, the second of Ireland's famous three-in-a-row victory, Niamh Kavanagh with In your eyes. This was voted Ireland's favourite Eurovision entry a few years ago - will it be your favourite?
So, Millstreet calling, etc. Please leave your votes in the comments.

Theme... love? Trying to be with a significant other?
Niamh for the win. Butchered at many a wedding but still the best Irish Eurovision song.
