Six One News: Charlie Bird, Washington Correspondent, reports that crowds of between one to four million people are expected in Washington for the swearing in of Barack Obama
The site in the centre of Moneygall in Co Offaly is owned by the county council.

Mr Healy also said he would be attending the US President-elect's inauguration on Tuesday.
