They seem to be referring to the poll done by Spotify and TourismIreland:

Sadly the Spotify site seems all broken.

It's St Patrick’s Day, but which song has been voted the top Irish tune to celebrate the event?

The Irish Rover by The Pogues
52.09%
Teenage Kicks by The Undertones
7.26%
Whole of the Moon by The Waterboys
6.41%
Danny Boy by Johnny Cash

7290 answers so far. It's The Irish Rover by The Pogues, according to the poll by Tourism Ireland and Spotify.

Academic now. "The Body of an American" [grapefruit mix] is the new unofficial anthem for St James Cagney Day.

Nope. I was referring to the actual Spotify poll at:

http://www.spotifyads.com/tourismireland/

It just throws 403 HTTP errors.
