Title: Ireland's Call

Artist: Phil Coulter

Writer: Phil Coulter

Song Types: Celtic, Folk

Key:

Info: "Ireland's Call" is a song by Phil Coulter used as a national anthem by some sports competitors representing the island of Ireland, originally the Ireland men's rugby union team.

It was commissioned by the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) for the 1995 World Cup, because a substantial minority, around 20%, of the IRFU's members are from Northern Ireland and the use of the anthem of the Republic of Ireland ("Amhr�n na bhFiann") was considered inappropriate.

While some all-island sports governing bodies use "Amhr�n na bhFiann" in international competition (for example, the Irish Athletic Boxing Association) others do not, and many have followed the IRFU in using "Ireland's Call", including Hockey Ireland, the Irish Cricket Union, Rugby League Ireland and Irish Korfball Association. The song has attracted some opposition, both on musical grounds and from Irish nationalists who would prefer "Amhr�n na bhFiann". Journalist Malachy Clerkin wrote on its 20th anniversary, "It has run the gamut with a sceptical and often hostile public, from deep loathing to grudging acceptance to growing pockets of reasonably throated support."
