Need Help With Tune Names - ABC notation included

Hello All, I need help with the names of two tunes. The abc notation for each tune is below.

The fiddler I perform with learned the polka from some friends but they did not know the name. The jig comes from the movie The Secret of Roan Inish. It is the second tune in the track "Return to Roan Inish 1" from the soundtrack but the title is not listed in the liner notes. Thank you in advance for any help. We are about to complete a CD and would like to give proper information for these two tunes.

I have the Jig in C Major but it should be a minor...
