Guess it depends where you go and who you're playing with, but the one that comes to mind that I've heard played in various cities is the "Diplodocus". Have also heard "That's Right Too" on more than one occasion. I know there are others, but those are the two that come to mind that I've at least heard the most often.
Don't be too quick to assume, hottfiddler. I know only two people (out of the dozens I play with at two different sessions) who know the tune. Although at the more advanced session, one guy pretty much learned it after only two repetitions (impressive, eh?). BTW, the leader at that session recognized it as a Liz Carroll tune, but commented, "That sounds totally Scottish." Scottish, Irish, American, whatever--I just think it's a fun tune.
"Diplodocus" and "That's Right Too" here in Ann Arbor, too. Though I've only got the first halfway and the second not at all, so clearly not everyone knows them!
Both the Diplodocus and That's Right Too are on the original eponymous Trian album. They're also on a couple of other recordings, but Trian is the primary one. Both tunes are on this site, so do a search for them if you want to find out the other albums where they are present.
I know a certain fiddleguru in these parts who has made a somewhat regular session tune out of one of my all-time favorites, "Sevens," and he's proven that it goes nicely into "The Morning Dew" I might add.

I've just started doing Keiren's polka and want to add Bike to Ballyhill but so far that one is eluding me.

Re: Liz Carroll tunes
Liz Carroll's variation on Miss Mcleod's reel is a fine tune in it's own right. It gets played around here. I'm also fond of Diploducus.
