SARAH GREENE, from Clonroche, got through to the Leinster finals of Scor singing this beautiful Irish song.

The Lyrics are by Christy Moore & Líam Ó Múirthile, with music by Wally Page. It is about the death of two fishermen, Tomás and Seán Ó Conghaile ('Na Conghailigh') off Inis Oírr in the Oileáin Árann. Congratulations and good luck in the final.
