National Anthem (Protection of Copyright and Related Rights) (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2016

Public bill · Private Member · Introduced

A private member’s bill sponsored by Senator Mark Daly, it would put copyright protection for the words and music of *Amhrán na bhFiann* back into the State’s hands indefinitely. The aim is to amend the copyright law so the national anthem is protected as belonging to the State, which matters because it would control how the anthem can be used, reproduced, or performed.
