Amhrán na bhFiann itself only closely beat O'Donnell Abú to be the Irish National anthem in a public vote in 1928. O'Donnell Abú itself would have made a fine rousing anthem. Always felt the Scots borrowed a good bit of the melody for Scotland the Brave although the Scots will say they sound nothing alike. However if there has to be a compromise one thing Ireland is not short of is great ancient melodies that would make fine anthems. Just not Irelands Call please.
