The history of the Irish National Anthem, "The Soldier's Song" (Amhrán na bhFiann), began in a Dublin cafe. Originally written in English by Peadar Kearney and Patrick Heeney, the song was banned by British authorities before being adopted by volunteers during the 1916 Easter Rising.

This history explained piece explores the complete timeline of how a rebel marching song became the official state anthem of Ireland in 1926. It covers Liam Ó Rinn's translation into the Irish Language drafted in a Welsh internment camp, the political hesitation surrounding its adoption after the Civil War, and the sporting divide that led to the creation of "Ireland's Call" for international rugby.
