The show (can we call it that?) will run till 5.40pm and will see RTÉ's Washington correspondent Brian O'Donovan live on the ground with Caitríona Perry holding down proceedings from the Irish studios.
Lady GaGa will perform the national anthem, the singer has said she's "deeply honoured" to be celebrating the historic inauguration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
I pray tomorrow will be a day of peace for all Americans. A day for love, not hatred. A day for acceptance not fear. A day for dreaming of our future joy as a country. A dream that is non-violent, a dream that provides safety for our souls. Love, from the Capitol ?? pic.twitter.com/fATHiJHCq0
