Kavanagh received 187 points, receiving the maximum 12 points a total of 7 times and receiving at least one point from every competing nation.[1] This was Ireland's fifth victory in the contest, and as such Ireland would be the hosts of the 1994 Contest (they did not decline of hosting, unlike Luxembourg after 1973 victory and Israel after 1979 victory).
