There's something of a debate raging online today after Reddit user fedupofbrick started a thread about Irish songs.

Specifically songs which match every county, because let's face it, we're a musical bunch.

Most counties have a song which is held close in the hearts of those who live there.

So Dermot & Dave asked the people of Ireland to send in their county song suggestions and lads - you sent in some absolute gems!

So without further ado here are the songs we most associate with where we hail from!

Limerick: Horse Outside

Wexford: Wexford, Dancing at the Crossroads

Mayo: Green and Red of Mayo

Donegal: The Hills of Donegal

Clare: My Lovely Rose of Clare

Laois: Lovely Laois (although on Laois wanted to replace that with 'the Wonderfully Popular Place' sung to the air of 'Lilt with the totally tropical taste!'

Sligo: World of Our Own

Cork: Banks of my own lovely lee

Monaghan: Hit The Diff

Leitrim: Lovely Leitrim 

Antrim: Green Glens of Antrim

Armagh: Boys from the County Armagh

Cavan: Come Back Paddy Reilly to Ballyjamesduff

Derry: Town I Loved So Well
