 Irish Anthems - tyro
Duncan, I've just googled, and found the correct answer, courtesy of the BBC.

"Ireland's Call became an official rugby anthem in April 1995, written to bring together every corner of Ireland.

At home games at Lansdowne Road in Dublin, Amhrán na bhFiann (A Soldier's Song) - the national anthem of the Republic of Ireland - is also sung."

As for the question - "But why do they insist on singing both of them?" - er, can't help you. That's just the Irish for you.
