All proceeds from the song are donated to the National Women’s Council of Ireland.
“The song talks about scandals in Ireland, past and present, from the women of this country being let down when in need of healthcare, to the horrors of the Catholic Church,” said Flannery in a Cork Examiner interview.
In 2016 Mick Flannery released his latest album, ‘I Own You’.
