Got this off Geantrai in Dublin... Liam O Connor & Seán McKeon.

Here's the full transcription. Probably wrong! But the tune seems such a good un, if cobbled a bit, that it's worth seeing how some of the variant parts fit together: ie: as it stands as a two parter as posted, it would be hard to get back into the first part, so...

And a cracking tune it is. Wouldn't have bothered elsewise. Anyone know where it came from? I suspect a modern comp pretending to be an old one, but I may well be very very wrong.
