Great song and performance twenty years ago. I never met Rita but I met Ronan once 😊😊😊😊😊✅🇮🇪

This still gives me chills , so many great memories

I watch this piece time and again...for the lovely song and rendition...but also for the humanity of the participants. This is such a refreshing counterpoint to the cynical professionalism, which pervades sport nowadays (including the Olympics). The joy in just participating shines through, and well done Ireland for putting on such a wonderful spectacle.

I know I believe in you are

Our greatest day

First time to ever make a comment.Rita Connolly.An underestimated gem.She should be declared a national treasure

Fantastic....see the contestants' faces? Pure human spirit at its best.

❤❤❤

Yup

😀😃🌷🌽🏀🏖📧🚹🇨🇮

This would be perfect as the national anthem for a United Ireland, but with different words such as this for the chorus; And here we are living in peace And we're prepared to try to look forward embrace the future And may the divides of the past BE GONE One verse with new words followed by this chorus twice.

What a terrible waste to ignore the Voice Squad, who were apparently on the stage for nothing :(

Wonderful memories - wonderful song. Made one so proud to be lrish

This song should be our national anthem instead if lrelands call.

marvellous thank you Rita god blesse you

A very nice lady not 100% been so long but she came on our bus before we left team Texas team USA never say goodbye

Actually, this is the best torch entrance in any major sporting event in the world.
