Indeed it is easy to check... Point is why would somebody associate Daniel O'Donnell with that song..? I'm was wondering if anyone knew of a legitimate link between DoD and U2... or if the author of that article totally made it up...?

The next bit is even better

His music had an enormous influence on the many singer-songwriters to emerge in the late 90s, and Damien Rice, Damien Dempsey and Paddy Casey owe an enormous debt to his efforts to put Irish music on the international map.
