When is the last time you heard the National Anthem played in a public place? I can't remember the last time I heard it.
It seems a real shame. As I've said in this post already, I'm not particularly a fan of our national anthem, but I like the element of ceremony and solidarity a national anthem engenders.
RTE used to play it at the end of programming. I don't see why they couldn't return to it. I realize there is no end of programming per se, but perhaps midnight would be a good time to do so.
A campaign to revive the national anthem seems like something almost everybody could get behind it, from left to right, liberal to conservative, religious to secular.
