Sir, – I followed the spat over Eurovision votes with interest. Although I am not an avid Eurovision Song Contest watcher, I like to see what Ireland has sent.
I found the Irish entry one evening while zapping, and my granddaughter and I found it so appealing, so we watching the song contest last Saturday to see how it would do. I thought the singer was wonderfully professional, a charmer, and the presentation, drums and all, was perfect. It was the best thing in years.
Enthusiastically, I voted on the numbers given on screen. I received a notice telling me the cost of the text. Then I received a message telling me my vote had not gone through, so I tried the phone number: same story. I tried both sources several times and was unable to have my vote accepted.
When I saw how far down the table Ireland had come, I began to wonder just how many other voters did not get the chance to register their vote. – Yours, etc,
