Ireland selects their Eurovision 2022 contestant tonight in a special episode of The Late Late Show

Ireland's Eurovision journey properly kicks off tonight with the selection of the country's entrant to the 2022 edition of the contest.

Viewers of The Late Late Show will be asked to vote on their favourite song from six performances to represent Ireland in Turin this year, the country of last year's winners, Måneskin.

The final six songs were chosen from over 300 entries in a process that began last Autumn, culminating tonight.

Ireland's winner, chosen by a combination of the public vote, an International Jury and a Studio Jury, will then go to the semi-finals on May 10 and May 12.

This year's nominees are as follows (composer in brackets):

One Night, One Kiss, One Promise - Patrick O'Sullivan (Nicky Byrne, Lar Kaye, Danny O'Reilly)

Ashes of Yesterday -  Janet Grogan (Aidan O Connor, John Emil, Sandra Wikström)
