It's clear that the musical gene is running strong in this family.
The Corona's frontman Danny O' Reilly, his sister Roisin O and their cousin Aoife Scott joined forces to perform a powerful rendition of
Grace in Kilmainham Gaol for RTÉ's
Centenary.
The song is deeply rooted in Irish history, and is particularly poignant coming up to the anniversary of 1916.
Written by in 1985 by Frank and Seán O'Meara, the song tells the story of Grace Gifford, the woman who married Joseph Plunkett in Kilmainham Gaol hours before his execution for his role in the Easter Rising.

Centenary will be broadcast on RTÉ One at 9.35pm on Easter Monday.
