So, if I'm understanding this correctly, the choice was "The Parting Glass":

The "short list" before the final vote, is a very nice selection of songs:

• Danny Boy
• On Raglan Road
• The Foggy Dew
• The Town I Loved So Well
• The Parting Glass
• Óró Sé Do Bheatha Abhaile
• The Green Fields of France
• Only a Woman's Heart
• A Rainy Night in Soho
• Rocky Road to Dublin

It's fun to have a vote like this, but I suppose it's hard on those who can only think in absolutes.
