VIDEO: Irish fan sings ‘The Fields of Athenry’ in “French” to a raucous Sligo pub after the Ireland game

The craic here is something else altogether.

While Irish fans have been living it up in France during the Euros in their unique way, supporters at home are also enjoying the positive vibes since the tournament started.

Fureys pub in Sligo was one such establishment where, after Ireland’s game with Sweden, a lively local decided to serenade his fellow punters with a very special version of ‘The Fields of Athenry’.

JOE reader Simon Costello was on hand to film this, eh, “French” version of the famous song.

The atmosphere here is brilliant.
