Ireland was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 with the song "They Can't Stop the Spring", written by John Waters and Tommy Moran, and performed by the band Dervish. The Irish participating broadcaster, Radio Telefís Éireann (RTÉ), selected its entry through the national final Eurosong 2007, after having previously selected the performers internally. Four songs faced a public televote, ultimately resulting in the selection of "They Can't Stop the Spring" as the Irish entry.

As one of the ten highest placed finishers in 2006, Ireland automatically qualified to compete in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2007. Performing during the show in position 4, Ireland placed 24th (last) out of the 24 participating countries with 5 points.
