ooops! sorry, it was the film version of Ulysses that was banned in Ireland for over 30 years since being filmed in Dublin in 1967.

The book was never actually "legally" banned in Ireland but as it was only published in Paris and banned in both the UK and the US copies were not widely available.

I don't think that any of the pubs that I've joined in singing sessions in Ireland in the last 30 years frowned upon IRA songs - they were usually sung with great gusto!
