Ireland's entry to this year’s Eurovision will be decided tonight, when six acts go head-to-head.
It's the first time since 2015 that the country’s entry will be decided by a public vote, with the last six acts chosen by a panel of experts.

The vote will be held on the Late Late Show later, the Editor of Eurovision Ireland.net, John Stanton, says no two acts in tonight's competition are the same.
"It's interesting to see the varieties of style's we've got there. We've got a ballad, we've got something in the style of Adele, we've got something in the style of Ed Sheeran. So there's basically something for everyone there."
I may, or may not, be announcing the results of what may or may not be the public vote to choose what may or may not be the Irish Eurovision entry, on what may or may not be the Late Late Show on Friday.
Which may or may not mean my campaign is going well so far.#panti4results pic.twitter.com/AHPdRrRFQz— Dr Panti Bliss-Cabrera (@PantiBliss) February 3, 2022
