"Women of Ireland" is an instrumental piece by musician Mike Oldfield, originally released in 1996. It is a version of the traditional folk song, "Mná na hÉireann" (Women of Ireland).
Originally from the 1996 album Voyager, it also appeared on the compilation XXV: The Essential. The single release "Women of Ireland XXV" includes two mixes of the song along with a reel tune, similar to the ending pieces of the first two Tubular Bells albums.
The Lurker edit remix is by Henry Jackman and George Shilling.
