The Irish National final was held on Sunday 1 March, three weeks later than planned owing to a technicians' strike at the national broadcaster. It was broadcast live from the RTÉ studios in Dublin on RTÉ Television, and hosted by Brendan O'Reilly. Eight songs competed for the honour of representing Ireland at the Eurovision Song Contest 1970 being held in Amsterdam. The winning song was decided by 10 regional juries throughout Ireland.
Dana had previously participated in the Irish national final in 1969, and finished in second place. Both Anna McGoldrick and Tony Kenny had sung in the national contest in 1968.
