Wheres me jumpa

For the second time in two weeks, I was at a venue where the national anthem was played at the end of the night. Once in Carlow and now in Westport. I presumed this tradition had ended years ago.

The Carlow incident was at a 21st, however the Westport incident was at a busy nightclub. Im beginning to wonder is this some bizarre method of crowd control? People dont get a chance to chant “one more choooooon” as they are too busy standing to attention.
