Ireland National Anthem won’t change according to Paddy Power Visit Paddy Power Save For Later Posted by Bettingpro Staff 19 Oct 2011 Tweet (credit: Ryu Voelkel) Related Articles See all Special Bets news Share it Pin It The Irish National Anthem has been questioned by some Irish Presidential candiates, although Paddy Power don’t see it changingIreland’s National Anthem has once again been called into question, this time by some of the candidates running for the Áras.When it was put to them, Michael D Higgins and Sean Gallagher weren’t opposed to the idea of the modernising the anthem with Labour candidate Higgins going one step further and suggesting a consultation process regarding changing ‘The Soldier’s Song’ could be held as early as next Spring.Paddy Power however reckon Amhrán Na bhFiann is here to stay and are quoting 16/1 odds-against it being scrapped or changed before 2016. It’s anyone’s guess as to what could replace the tune that’s been in place since 1926 but rugby anthem ‘Ireland’s Call’ is an outside bet at 25/1.Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for Paddy Power told Bettingpro: “I think there’s a feeling amongst our punters that Amhrán Na bhFiann is such a major part of our history. We’ve not seen any betting support for it being changed any time soon.” Meanwhile, the race for the Presidency now looks very much a two horse race with Michael D Higgins and Dragon Sean Gallagher neck and neck at 10/11 and 4/5.
