I learned this by ear off an mp3 and I really like it. I tried the advanced search a bunch of times with different pieces of the tune (as I know it), but I didn't find it. C's and F's are sharp--hopefully there aren't too many mistakes in this.
Fra from being weird, BGE EEE is altogether preferable to BGE F2E, which, although almost universal, irritates me.
For some reason that I can't be bothered to investigate I think it (the F#) is a variation that has supplanted the other phrase. Maybe some tune historians can prove me wrong or right.
I don't know the history, but I just listened to the recordings I have of it on my iPod. Michael Coleman, Tommy Peoples, Mary Bergin, and John & James Kelly all do some version of an E roll, while Sharon Shannon and Johnny Connolly do an F# roll.
Name of this jig?

Try BGE F2E in the advanced search. The Monaghan Jig.

Ah, that's it, thanks a million. I figured the version I knew was a little weird...
