As far as I know there are no songs which are actually illegal in Ireland nowadays, but there is the story told to me by a friend who was in Crotty's Bar in Kilrush in County Clare during a football match between England and Yugoslavia. The crowd watching the game were cheering enthusiastically for England and their victory was greeted with loud applause, but when 'God save The Queen' was played at the end, two pint glasses sailed through the air from different parts of the room and landed through the screen of the TV.
