An Irish choir has received love online after singing at Dublin Airport before jetting off to represent Ireland in an international festival.
Dublin Airport posted a video of the Irish Youth Choir singing 'Here Comes the Sun' by The Beatles before departing to Germany to represent Ireland in the International Youth Choir Festival.
In the post - which was published on X (formerly Twitter) yesterday (May 8) - a Dublin Airport spokesperson stated, "Never mind the Eurovision... The Irish Youth Choir were in fine voice today as they departed [sic]."
Watch the clip of the singing below:

The video inspired people to comment in a thread beneath the video, with one X user describing the performance as "a mood lifter".
Another commented, "Proper musical talents."
One social media user suggested, "Maybe RTE could televise this competition in addition to Eurovision for those who appreciate music and choral singing? RTÉ TV doesn't offer enough variety on TV in music outside traditional fare for younger demographics."
Another X user commented, "An awesome job. I loved being in a choir. It really builds team spirit. They sound amazing [sic]."
