Help with tune title

I learned the following jig recently from Nuala Kennedy, but she didn't have a name for it. She said it was played frequently in sessions "at home" but I don't know now whether she meant Ireland or Scotland (she can claim both as "home".)

I've searched the ABCs, and used Tunepal on my recording, but no results.

Do any of you recognize this tune? Thanks.

It's a Maurice Lennon Composition

'' The Trip To London ''

Here's my video of it, but I am playing it in A major --

Funny, for some reason I was under the impression that Kieran Hanrahan wrote Trip to London for Stockton's Wing... Or did he and Maurice write it together? :-/
