Wild Youth said it has cut ties with Ian Banham, who was announced as the Creative Director for Ireland's Eurovision performance back in February, after comments he made about transgender people began to circulate online. "We have cut all ties with Ian Banham and will not have him on or near our team or Eurovision journey," Wild Youth said in a statement on April 25, adding that "We are so sorry for anyone offended by his comments. The Irish group further added that Michael Kealy, an executive producer and director with RTÉ, was just as "horrified" by Banham's comments.
