Following three consecutive victories, the 1995 Eurovision Song Contest was once again held in Ireland. Eddie Friel was selected to represent his country after winning the national selection contest, which was held on 12 March 1995 at the Cork Opera House in Cork. For the fifth year running, Pat Kenny hosted the event. The eight songs presented were voted on by ten regional juries.

"Dreamin'" went on to 14th place in the contest with 44 points, thus sparing Ireland the duty of hosting a fourth consecutive contest. Ireland won again, however, the following year.
