Unfortunately we don’t have an embedded stream, but we do have all the details so that you’ll be tuned in and ready to go in time for the performances and announcement.
Meteor will be broadcasting the event live from their Facebook page (www.facebook.com/meteor) and meteor.ie direct from The Olympia Theatre so that nobody has to miss out on the big event. Sure you can’t say you were there but nobody can say you didn’t see it.
