If my memory serves me correctly I think there was an Irish language version of the song around when I was growing up something like "Ár Náisiún Saor arís" or maybe "Sean Náisiún saor arís". Someone else may be willing to go and seek out the words. I'm not a fan of this song in any language.

Written by Thomas Davis in the 1840's - and very much of its time. It's hard to see the point of translating its rather stilted English into Irish.
