The Castleblaney Piper
This is one of those things where the title's definitely wrong as posted. This is the Castleblaney Piper and it was composed by Ed Reavy. Hare In The Corn is a completely different tune.

"Ed said that this was a great place for pipers in his day. Ed is not a great lover of the pipes, but he had a special feeling for these great pipers of his childhood days when he visited the Hamills and family friends in County Monaghan."

The Fiddler's Companion also mistakenly prints this as the Hare in the Corn, which I think is a bit slack seeing as the other "version" they give of (supposedly) the same tune in G major is very different in the B-part.
This is the setting I'm referring to, from the FC:
X: 2
T: Hare in the Corn, The [3a]
M: 6/8
L: 1/8
R: Jig
S: Randy Miller
K: D

The Hare In The Corn tune (aka The Absent-minded Man) is here http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/8444. The similarity in the A-parts cause the two to be confused on recordings (Paul McGrattan's is one example) and tunebooks and online tune indexes, despite the fact that they have completely different 2nd parts and they're in different keys.
