The Doonagore reel. At least that's what it's called on Open Hearth by Andrew & Mary MacNamara.

You're welcome. It is a great tune. And a great CD.

Great tune alright. "The Doonagore" seems to be the name for it these days. I heard the late Micho Russell play it in the Willie Week flute and whistle concert in 1985 and he called it "Top of the morning." Micho used his typically very sharp "c" on this -- especially coming down from the d it was more of a c# -- which I always liked a lot.
