Ireland have selected former Westlife singer, Nicky Byrne, to represent them at the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest in Stockholm. The local broadcaster, RTÉ, decided to pick their act internally this year.

Nicky will sing Sunlight composed by Wayne Hector, Ronan Hardiman and Nicky himself. The song has an upbeat pop/rock feel. An official lyric video has been released to accompany the song.

Nicky was part of the hugely successful Westlife group that had 14 number one singles in the United Kingdom and sold around 50 million records worldwide. Ireland have gone big this year so let us see if this leads to success for them in Sweden.

You can see the official lyric video of Sunlight below.
