Thread Name: What is the Irish National anthem?
Subject: RE: What is the Irish National anthem?
My dad was in Dublin as a tourist in the 30s. One night he went to a movie. As he described it, before the picture started thew whole audience stood up and BELTED the national anthem. Incidentally, the proper name for "Danny Boy" is "The Londonderry Air". Londonderry is in Northern Ireland, so it was very appropriate.
I have distant relatives in Londonderry who keep a grocery shop. Just out of curiousity, are there any other Londonderry McFalls out there?
