The
winning entry, "Kaleidoscope in a Rainbow of Love",
was composed by Ann-Marie Morris, and sung by Ireland's
1998 Eurovision singer Dawn Martin. Ann-Marie's song,
with consistently high scoring, received 76 points,
gaining the lead after the third adjudicator's scores had
been added to the scoreboard. Second place went to "Simple
Love" on 68 points, written by Liam Meade, Rory
O'Conor and Jim Meade, and sung by Janice Benson, who
also sang the second placed song in 1998. Fintan Ellard,
on his first time entering the contest, sang his own
composition "Mine Again Someday", finishing a
close third with 67 points. 
"The Bluebell Grove"
written by Tom Mullins and sung by well-known Kerry
footballer Paud O'Donaghue, took an early lead with the a
10 point maximum score from the first adjudicator. A
single point from the fourth adjudicator left the entry
with too much ground to make up. The song shared 5th
places with "Love Comes Shining Through",
written and sung by John Grant, 4 points behind Joan
Henderson's composition "Hold Me Tightly", sung
by Denise Cummins, which finished 4th with 63 points. 
Mark Roberts, who sang "Mysterious
Woman" for Ireland in the 1997 Eurovision Song
Contest entertained the audience while the nine
adjudicators came to their decision on the thirteen
finalists.
