"Amhran na bhFiann" (The Soldier's Song)

Ireland’'s national anthem “"Amhran na bhFiann”" was adopted in 1926, with English lyrics and music by Peadar Kearney and Patrick Heeney, and Irish lyrics by Liam O Rinn. During athletic events where citizens of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland compete as a unified team, the song “"Ireland’'s Call”" is used instead.
