Speaking to KildareNow this week ahead of the semi-final, Julie said: "It's nerve-wracking and exciting to be on 'Ireland's Got Talent'and to have made it to the semi-final. I was watching the other two semi-finals last weekend and it just surprises you because you don't know what the audience will think, anything can happen. It's all go for rehearsing at the moment and I can't wait to get on stage." Julie has been singing for all of her life, particularly in earnest over the last eight years. "It was my sister who actually applied for me to go on the show. We'd just found out that our son  Max (3) has autism and my sister thought the competition would give me something positive to do, to occupy my mind. It's been great for us all and Max is doing great now," explained Julie.
