Amhrán Dóchais and other honors music

[Eamonnca1]

From wiki: "Amhrán Dóchais"   "Song of Hope". Words by Osborn Bergin, to a traditional air arranged by Aloys Fleischmann.

Is it just me or does this always get played to a tune that sounds just like the start and end of the German national anthem? How did that come about?

Is Ireland the only country that has honours music for the office of its prime minister?

Have any of you ever felt the need to stand for it at Croke Park? Or has respect for that office been undermined by too many of the boys who have held it lately?

Of the people who stand for the Presidential Salute I wonder how many do it because they think they've started the national anthem.
