Sinn Féin's Conor D McGuinness has called for the national anthem to be included on the school curriculum.
He said it was "shameful" that it is not currently mandatory to teach Amhrán na bhFiann in primary or secondary schools.
Mr McGuinness said the national anthem is taught in many schools "because teachers choose to include it".
The Department of Education said that while teaching the song is not mandatory, there are "clear pathways" for it to be included.
It added that it is a matter for each individual school.
We asked people in Dublin’s city centre if they know our national anthem, where they learned it and if they think it should be a mandatory to teach it in schools.
