National Anthem: Ireland - Ireland's Call [Irish Rugby Football Union]
Ireland's Call is a song commissioned by the Irish Rugby Football Union for use at international Rugby Union fixtures. It has since also been adopted by the Irish Hockey, Cricket, Rugby League, Ireland national korfball team, and A1GP teams.
For the Irish rugby team in particular, the team has players from north and south, so internationally represents the island of Ireland as a whole. This is distinctly different from football for example where two separate teams, one for each of the political divide, i.e. Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, compete internationally in the World Cup and other competitions.
For most sports, a team representing Ireland may include team members from any part of the island, even though the island is divided into two separate political areas. In the north-east, Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, while the rest of the island forms the Republic of Ireland.
While Amhrán na bhFiann (The Soldier's Song) is the national anthem of the Republic of Ireland, its use arouses sensitivities among those with Unionist sympathies in Northern Ireland. Equally, the national anthem of Northern Ireland, as part of the United Kingdom, is God Save The Queen, which is sensitive among those with Nationalist sympathies.
At matches played in the Republic, both Amhrán na bhFiann (as the anthem of the Republic of Ireland) and Ireland's Call (as the anthem of the home team) are sung. Elsewhere, Ireland's Call is the only anthem used in recognition of the need for a unifying anthem.
At most games today, only the first verse is sung, followed by the chorus in the same key. The chorus is then repeated in a higher key; at the end, the last line is repeated.
The song was written by Phil Coulter in 1995. He composed it because he loved hearing a combination of the Irish accents singing together.
It was first broadcast simultaneously in Northern Ireland on the Kelly show and in the Republic of Ireland on Gay Byrne's Late Late Show, sung by Andrew Strong, singer in the film The Commitments, accompanied by Portadown Male Voice Choir. Phil has rewritten the lyrics to be sung in the Celtic Thunder singing tour, where he has collaborated with Sharon Browne, the Original Producer of Celtic Woman. The rewritten lyrics have a somewhat more martial theme, with lines like meet our destiny with glory and Till our final requiem is spoken
