Some of Dublin's greatest singers packed out a historic pub in the capital alongside the All-Ireland winning Dublin GAA team in an epic celebration.
And during the sing-song they paid tribute to Sinead O'Connor following her untimely passing last week at the age of 56. Roisin O shared footage from the gathering which took place in the Lord Edward pub in Christchurch.
Damien Dempsey led the charge with the music and was joined by Mundy, Dan McCabe, Sean McManamon with Stephen James Smith providing celebratory words. One of the highlights of the night was when Roisin O belted out a cover of Nothing Compares 2 U.
Sharing the video, she said: "Had an absolutely magic singsong last night with @dubgaaofficial and friends in the Lord Edward… Found myself nearly in tears a few times listening to @damiendempseymusic @mundy_music @sjswords @kevmc15 @dmcmusic96 @manamonmusic and so many other great players, as well as the Dublin lads themselves joining in at the top of their lungs. Felt right to sing a song for Sinead in that room… So proud to be from Dublin."

It's just the latest tribute for the singer who died in London. A cause of death is not expected to be known for a number of weeks.
Nothing Compares 2 U was played before the Dublin v Kerry All-Ireland final in Croke Park on Sunday. And around 100 fans gathered at Barnardo Square for a singalong organised by feminist group Rosa.
Meanwhile, the leader of the Catholic Church in Ireland has also paid tribute to Sinead describing her as “a kind and very compassionate person who reached out to people like herself who had been alienated or excluded”.
Archbishop Eamon Martin said yesterday over the last few days people he met or had spoken to had expressed sadness to him about her passing. He added: “There is a sense that she was a very special person. A unique person and quite a complicated and troubled soul.”
