Name this jig - something Ireland

Name this jig - something Ireland

Hello, I am wondering if anyone can help me identify the title of a jig. I'm not too good at abc format but its in A major and it goes something like this:
d | AEE AFF | AEE EAc | cff ecA | cBB BcB | AEE FDD | EFE EAc | cff ecB | cAA A3 :|| g | aAA fAA | efe efg | aAA fAA | edc B2 A | aAA fAA | efe e2 d | cBA BAB | cAA A2 g | aAA fAA | efe efg | aAA fAA | edc BcB | AEE FDD | EFE EAB | cff ecB | fAA A2 :||

I've been playing this tune for years but unfortunately there is a hole punch right on top of the title in my source for this (sheet music transcribed from a friend so I can't even identify an original source). Couldn't find it in Oneils, about to prowl through Kerrs but was hoping to find an easy out. Anyone know the title of this?... Janet

I don't recognise it, but it bears some similarity with this one:

Ah - its a Jimmy Shand tune named Jean Ireland. I'll add this one as a tune. Thanks to Barbara McOwen for the identification. - Janet
