What was that watered down Irish national anthem that they played at the beginning?

Missed the start but i assume it was because Mary McAleese was in attendance, as happen's when ireland play in Croke.
Shortened version of Amhr!n na bhFiann comes on then they play visitors anthem then comes on Amhr!n na bhFiann followed by Ireland's Call.

Hope this helps

Rugby is an all Ireland team, so for sleepymy, it's your team too and for psst,
because it's an all Ireland team there are all sorts of odd rules about which anthems are played and when.
