Eurosong winner Molly Sterling has said people should stop being worried about her age.
The Tipperary native was the youngest Eurosong contestant at just 16-year-old but has insisted she has what it takes to represent Ireland.
“A lot of people are talking about my age — but to me it just feels like I have been doing this for ages,” she said.
“I feel like I’m in the right hands with Greg and the team and now is the right time.”

“Why should I miss an opportunity just because of my age?” she explained.
Speaking to the Sunday Independent Molly said she was so nervous back stage at the RTE competition that she started crying.
“I was so happy and nervous it made me cry,” she admitted.
