Read today on the web pages of The Guardian:

-- quote:
... Today, sport is virtually the only arena in which the British national
anthem is both regularly heard and sung with some degree of genuine
emotional content. And even there, of course, it is summoned only in support
of a section of the United Kingdom, the whole of which it purports to
represent. When Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland are taking part in a Six
Nations rugby match or an international football match, the players join in
Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau (Land Of My Fathers), Flower of Scotland, or Amhran na
bhFiann (The Soldier's Song), emphasising their independence - particularly
when playing against England...

-- end quote

Question: is the "North-Irish anthem" song sung in Irish?

Regards,
Roger

I, too, have a question in this connection:

What is the anthem of England?  Is it the same as that of the United
Kingdome, or is there one that is specific to the country of England?

Cheerio!
