Following its victory, the winning song "Dreamin'" caused some controversy following plagiarism allegations due to similarities to a Julie Felix song called "Moonlight". The second-placed song in the national final, "Always You", was for a while considered as a potential replacement for Friel, however an agreement with Felix allowed the song to continue in the contest.[2]

At Eurovision

"Dreamin'" went on to take 14th place in the contest with 44 points, breaking Ireland's record three-year-long winning streak.[3] Ireland won again, however, the following year.
