"Rock 'n' Roll Kids" was performed third in the running order on the night of the contest, following Finland and preceding Cyprus. The song went on to win the contest with 226 points, a 60-point lead over runner-up Poland.[2] This was Ireland's third win in a row, and sixth overall. Both were Eurovision records - no country had previously managed to win three years in a row.
