Ireland will participate in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 and will select their entry through the national selection Eurosong 2012 the 24th february 2012, organised by the Irish broadcaster RTÉ.
On 3 November 2011, RTÉ started the call for songs for their national selection The Late Late Show Eurosong 2012. Like 2011, five mentors will help the hopefuls reach their aim of representing Ireland in Baku. The five mentors are:
Julian Benson, show-business agent and choreographer
Greg French of The Brilliant Things
Bill Hughes, former talent show judge and producer
Edele Lynch, Member of B*Witched
Linda Martin, winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 1992
As with last year's Eurosong, it will be broadcast as part of The Late Late Show and the result will be decided by a combination of jury vote and public televote.
