please name that tune

Hello,
does anybody know the name of this tune? I know that there is a gaelic name which I can't remember. Are there variations of the melody or any informations about its origins?
Thanks a lot!

It's very similar to a tune called "The Twisted Bridge" which is a pipe reel. This tune has been recorded by Jennifer and Hazel Wrigley amongst others.
I'm not sure if I'd be able to post it here with the 6/4 signature but here's a link to the tune on Nigel Gatherer's site. It's slightly different from your abc but it could well be the one you're after.

I think also, though a may be wrong, it's on Eilidh Shaw's excellent Heepirumbo
