  Amhrán na bhFiann
"Amhrán na bhFiann" (trans "A Soldier's Song" and pronounced 'Ow-rawn na vian') is the national anthem of the Republic of Ireland.
A new sporting anthem, 'Ireland's Call' is now used at international rugby matches, because the Irish rugby team is drawn from the whole island, and is supported by nationalists and unionists, whereas Amhrán na bhFiann is merely the anthem of the twenty-six county Republic of Ireland.

Unionists, however, reject this use of Amhrán na bhFiann, and at international games played by the all-Ireland Irish Rugby Football Union team the song Ireland's Call is sung instead of, or (in the Republic of Ireland) as well as, Amhrán na bhFiann.
Amhrán na bhFiann was relatively unknown until it was sung by rebels in the General Post Office (GPO) during the Easter Rising of 1916, and afterwards in British internment camps.
Even after the adoption of Amhrán na bhFiann as the official anthem of the Irish Free State in July 1926, a minority continued to sing the British anthem, and to pray for the King and Queen in religious ceremonies, for a number of years.

The song is regarded by many nationalists as the national anthem of the whole island of Ireland, and it is therefore sung, for example, at Gaelic Athletic Association matches held anywhere on the island.
Even after the adoption of "Amhrán na bhFiann" as the official anthem a minority continued to sing the British anthem, as indeed they continued to pray for the King and Queen in religious ceremonies, right up until the state was declared to be a republic in 1949.
Amhrán na bhFiann is pronounced "ow-rawn na veean"

The Republic of Ireland (Irish: Poblacht na hÉireann) is the official description of the sovereign state which covers approximately five-sixths of the island of Ireland, off the coast of north-west Europe.
The revolutionary state established by nationalists in 1919 was known as the "Irish Republic", while when the state achieved de jure independence in 1922 it became known as the "Irish Free State" (in the Irish language Saorstát Éireann), a name that was retained until 1937.

The national anthem doesnt have to be a musical masterpeice, it is designed to be inspirational and tell a relevant tale of the country.
Although a bit controversial i think Amhrán na bhFiann is a great national anthem and story
I haven't given any real though to it but, off the top of my head, I think "Róisín Dubh", "Sliabh na mBan" or "Rosc Catha na Mumhan" would all be vast improvements over the present effort.
