People might laugh at the Eurovision but for hundreds of millions across Europe it’s very serious business.

Nicky Bryne gave it his best shot last night, but even a bit of Westlife fame wasn’t enough to get us through to the final.

On the bright side, Irish people were on top form on Twitter. Here are some of the best tweets about us getting kicked out…

People of Ireland. Please remain calm. Do not take to the streets and riot. Stay with your families… #Eurovision

Pity we didn’t send the fella in Westlife who could sing. #Ireland #eurovision

With Israel and Oz in #Eurovision & #ireland being shite again, is it time to forget about the 80’s shite europop competition ??

Sure there is our wee Nicky, too bad his vocals are wee as well! Such a pity I don’t think he’ll make it! But go on Ireland #Eurovision ????????????????

So Ireland didn’t get through to #Eurovision… Next year I reckon we enter a potato in an Irish dancing dress & play a backing track #sham

#Eurovision Ireland yet again fail to qualify. The gamble of using a Westlife backing singer failed to come off

Poor Ireland. The UK will graciously welcome you to the land of broken Euro-dreams. Don’t worry, the bitterness can be fun. #Eurovision

I think #Ireland deserved a place in the final. Maybe we should take Johnny Logan out of the freezer next year? #eurovision

They’ve still not forgiven Ireland for sending Dustin the Turkey. #eurovision

Ireland: Next year I say we send a naked Twink covered in glitter, hoisted on the shoulders of Linda Martin in a gimp suit #eurovision
