I believe the first part is more commonly played like this: ged B2A|BGF G2A|~B3 AGA|GBd e2f|....

I've just heard Chris Droney play a beautiful version of the tune on a radio programme. It seems he recorded it on his brand new album.

Portroe

This is what Lucy Farr titled it but was possibly confused with the Portroe jig (ie Out on the Ocean).
