    Other than our own Amhrán na bhFiann of course!

    I'm going to go with God Defend New Zealand as sung by Hayley Westenra. An Irish man wrote the English words and it's rather rousing.

    Lots of good ones to choose from. I like our own, even if in Boards eyes it makes me some kind of Sinn Fein Republican nutcase.

    Flower of Scotland, Land of my Fathers and La Marsaillese are all very rousing too.

    "...and send them homeward to think again"
    So they went home, had a little think about it and came back and took over the place.
    Scotland - is not a real country - it's only a glorified county council at present.

    Flower of Scotland is like Cork people singing "The Banks of my own lovely Lee"

    Not a national anthem. And not one of Phil Coulter's better compositions.

    You're obviously a Sinn Fein Republican nutcase.
