The original version of the song was born out of Nnic's admiration for women.
Nnic has collaborated with Dulciana Vocal Ensemble to perform a special version of her song, 'Pillars', to mark the two-year anniversary of Repeal.
The referendum to Repeal the controversial abortion laws in Ireland took place on this day two years ago, with the country voting by 66.4% to 33.6% to remove the 8th amendment from the Irish Constitution.
With a historic total turnout of 64.5% - the highest of any referendum since 1992 - more than two million votes were cast overall.
Posting the collaboration with Dulciana to Instagram, Nnic wrote:
"To honour the two year anniversary of the Repeal vote, I have collaborated with the amazing Dulciana Vocal Ensemble to create a choral version of my song, 'Pillars'".
"What better way to remember Repeal than an all female quarantine choir!"

Nnic's original 'Pillars' version features powerhouse vocals by its creator - who has over 10 years of classical vocal training under her belt.
When the song was released back in August 2018, Nnic stated that 'Pillars’ was written from a place of admiration and is "a homage to faceless women who selflessly uplift and support others."
