It's the biggest day of the year, if you're in college in NUIG or GMIT.

Donegal Tuesday is here, where thousands of students head for The Hole in The Wall pub to celebrate one of Ireland's most beloved counties.

What started out as a celebration for Donegal has fast become a county appreciation day, where folk from across this beautiful country wear their county jerseys and belt out tunes such as 'The Hills of Donegal' and other Irish classics.

The antics take place in the back hall of the famous bar in Eyre Square in Galway, with lines forming from early morning.

If you need some inspiration as to what song you should be singing, have a look at our list of county songs below.

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!'
