I'm nearly sure - U2 - City of Blinding Lights (at least the music of it was played.)

Also Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars

The JFK speech was I believe the one delivered to the joint houses of the Oirechtas as is available online

Does anybody know if there is a clip/video of the highlights reel they showed on the big screens during the fireworks? Some great memories, would love to watch them again.

My first post so hello all!

Welcome Qwerty28, I don't think there is a video of the highlights reel but I presume that the whole show will be released as a DVD sometime during the year.
