Thread Name: Northern Ireland - anthem?
Subject: RE: Northern Ireland - anthem?
Is that implying that if there was no constitution you would not consider Northern Ireland a country? Believe it or not there are a couple of countries in the world who manage quite well without one. New Zealand is one of these. But yeah... I get the point about people not exactly agreeing to the governing principals up there!

I remember years ago when the Commonwealth Games were held in Auckland, a boxer from Northern Ireland won gold, but they could not get the national anthem to play. A gentleman in the audience got up and sang 'Danny Boy' to much applause.

Which is the more accepted name - The Derry Air, or Londonderry Air?
