One of the most memorable voting sequences in ESC history. It's funny that one year AFTER they changed it to the ascending order of points, the voting is a complete chaos. If it isn't slow lines or confused jury spokespeople, it's the scoreboard itself, which seemed very difficult to manouver. A lot of mistakes and belated additions are going to plague the voting (the 326 incident being one of the funniest). Fortunately we have Doireann Ní Bhríain, carrying it all along as smoothly as possible.

The "I Don't have it" has to be the funniest

8:39 - I knew Ireland are good at Eurovision. But not so good that they can break maths by having 98pts more than were possible.

[@arthurvasey]

Ireland 326 points? Nobody can beat that!

[@AtlasBlizzard]

Ireland, scoring over 300 points before it was cool.

What the hell was that sound at 9.33?
