This Irish-American lass's sapphic heart is very, very proud today. :')
Way to go, Ireland!!!

A few Irish songs, in celebration of today's happy news. First up, Van the Man & the Chieftains, with the title song of their 1988 collaboration, "Irish Heartbeat":
Here's a beautiful version of the same song that Van recorded with the great Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits fame for his stellar new album, Duets: Reworking the Catalogue:
And here's my favorite song on the album, the haunting "Streets of Arklow," with Simply Red's Mick Hucknall:
You can find the equally mesmerizing original version on 1974's intensely personal - and very Celtic - Veedon Fleece, my favorite Van Morrison album:
And last but not least, Mundy's wonderful cover of Steve Earle's "Galway Girl," with assistance from Sharon Shannon:

Amen, ladies! :D
It's a great day to be Irish.
Congratulations, and please note it was a decided majority of the people who said "YES".
A significant advance for the Institution of Marriage and Equality for all.
The rest of the world should take notice.
Could not agree more, Alice.
