Bothar Na Sop
I found this to be similar to Dennis Murphy's Reel: ?Same tune.
What's a "Sop"?

Sop
The Sweet Sop and Sour Sop are fruits of the genus Anona, native to S. America, and commonly known as 'custard apples'. I doubt, however, whether a road in Ireland would be named after one of these.

Duplication
This is just a version of the tune better known as Lord MacDonald's or The Glentown. See

Well, while you are pointing out the tune being the same as Lord MacDonald's, the word 'sop' means a wisp, as in a bundle of straw. A well known character in Scotland was 'Ailean nan Sop' (Allan MacLean ) who apparently got his name from his pyromaniacal antics, using a wisp of straw.
