Ireland's got Talent 2019

An Eurovision style voting system might work. Split the voting into counties/regions and the winner of each county/region gets xx amount of points, 2nd gets xx points and so on and the act with the most points at the end wins

That would create a lot of hassle.
They'd be some counties and only a few people might vote.

I had considered not many people might vote in some counties. You would group them in 4s I guess but like you said, it's probably more hassle than its worth.

The current voting system doesn't make for good entertainment thats for sure!

BSD would have gone home tonight without any doubt if they did not win the Public Vote, I note they are favourites with the bookies to win the contest outright, presumably only because they have such a big voting bloc.

I'm sure they did a survey of their 500 followers

I've often seen news article in the past saying outrages viewers slam Strictly/Coronation Street/etc. It generally just a journalist who sees a few Tweets.

I thought the gymnasts who also went through tonight were far better than them.

Plenty of sob stories as well

Why is Ireland obsessed with the depressing - LLS prime example
No wonder everyone is on Xanax (which reminds me of a friend asking me a few years ago have you never been depressed and looked genuinely shocked when I said no)

Thanks, was this shown on screen? And what was their basis for the cut?
