 Notes:
  • Barry Walsh's Strong Enough has been previously released as the B-side of a single by John Walsh and Roisin O'Reilly, making it ineligible for the Contest. In fact, their single was the Irish OGAE club's entry for the 2002 OGAE Second Chance song contest. With only four songs making the short list, it's perplexing how RTÉ were unable to scrutinize their short list to ensure adherence to EBU eligibility rules
