Una Healy has said she would love to be part of writing a song for the Eurovision – but wouldn’t perform at the song contest.
The mum-of-two was a backing singer in 2006 at the Eurovision Song Contest when Brian Kennedy represented Ireland with his song, Every Song Is A Cry For Love, in Athens.
Una said it would be a dream to write an “amazing” song that would hopefully qualify us into the final, after another failed attempt earlier this year.

She told us: “I would like to be part of it again in some way, because I did it in 2006. I don’t know if I would like to perform but maybe to write something for it. To write an amazing song, that would be a dream.”
She said being offered to be part of the Eurovision again is “nothing to turn your nose up at '.
“Eurovision is nothing to turn your nose up at. It is a huge launch pad for so many artists. See Sam Ryder there now…He’s talented. It shows the UK to come second in this day and age, you thought that would never happen again but it just proves that the public have a bigger say now with the voting system.”
And the 40-year-old Tipperary native said the voting system is a lot fairer now.
“It is a lot fairer so yeah no I would love to do it again. 2006 was a long time ago. If I could have a go at it in some shape or form, I wouldn’t say no,” she added.
Una also revealed she has started writing her own songs again after the Covid-19 pandemic – saying she found it hard to be inspired over the last two years.
“I didn’t find myself inspired by the pandemic, some people really said it was a great time to write – I was the opposite. I was like no, I’m trying to adjust to this whole new life and settle back into Ireland so now that I am settled, I think it is time to start writing again and I’ve a few more things going on.
“I’ve been writing since I was 12. It’s always been something I did because I loved it, not because I had to. That should never be the case. I did it before. That's kind of went back to my roots again,” she said.
