On the issue of the tricolour in Trinity, yesterday the question of the rugby match at Croke Park was raised. Without going over that too much, all national anthems can be contentious. The British is a comparatively mild one. The tunes are usually fairly nice. Our own could do with being reviewed, including the line "Le gunnaí-scréach faoi lámhach na bpiléar". It comforts me that most people do not speak Irish and do not know what they are singing.
