Answer

The National anthem of Ireland is “Amhran na bhFiann” which means in English “The Soldier’s Song”.
Ireland’s anthem lyrics were written by Peadar KEARNEY [English], Liam O RINN [Irish] and the music was written by Patrick HEENEY and Peadar KEARNEY.

Irish anthem lyrics (Official English)
English Version The Soldiers’ Song
Soldiers are we,
whose lives are pledged to Ireland,
Some have come
from a land beyond the wave,
Sworn to be free,
no more our ancient sireland,
Shall shelter the despot or the slave.
Tonight we man the “bearna baoil”,[
In Erin’s cause, come woe or weal,
ג€™Mid cannon’s roar and rifles’ peal,
We’ll chant a soldier’s song
 
Irish Version Amhrֳ¡n Na Bhfiann
Sinne Fianna Fֳ¡il,
atֳ¡ faoi[fn 2] gheall ag ֳ‰irinn,
Buֳ­on dֳ¡r slua
thar toinn do rֳ¡inig chughainn,
Faoi mhֳ³id bheith saor
Seantֳ­r ֳ¡r sinsear feasta,
Nֳ­ fhֳ¡gfar faoin tֳ­orֳ¡n nֳ¡ faoin trֳ¡ill.
Anocht a thֳ©am sa bhearna baoil,
Le gean ar Ghaeil, chun bֳ¡is nֳ³ saoil,
Le gunna scrֳ©ach faoi lֳ¡mhach na bpilֳ©ar,
Seo libh canaig amhrֳ¡n na bhfiann
