Did you ask Manus O'Riordan? A singer himself, he's surely your best bet re the Republican tradition in Ireland. As you know, there were contemporary parodies and skits written ridiculing O'DUffy's volunteers. How widely they cirulated, I don't know.

I have never heard (nor heard of) any pro-Franco songs in Ireland, as far as I recall. That said, they may have confined themselves to Marian hymns! (I'm only half-joking).
