The Seanad Public Consultation Committee has launched a report on the status, treatment and use of the National Anthem.
The report proposes that formal recognition of the National Anthem be given by way of the introduction of the first ever set of protocols in relation to the use of the Anthem. The protocols would include the versions of the National Anthem in Irish, English and Irish Sign Language, as well as the musical notation as provided by the Irish Defence Forces School of Music.
The report was produced on foot of a consultation process. In October, the committee invited submissions from the public on the Anthem and held public hearings in the Seanad Chamber in December 2017.
