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)

Real Love - Brendan Murray (Brendan Murray & Darrell Coyle)

Yeah We're Gonna Get Out Of It - Miles Graham (Miles Graham Miley, Justin Broad, Paul Herman)

I'm Loving Me - Rachel Goode (Joakim Övrenius, Thomas Karlsson, Johan Mauritzson, Anna Eng)

That's Rich - Brooke Scullion (Brooke Scullion, Karl Zine, Izzy Warner)
