This tune was posted last year in G major under Gan Ainm.
The setting slainte gives is interestingly different from the way I learned it. My version is closer to how Dervish plays it on their cd Harmony Hill:
T:Whinny Hills of Leitrim
D:Dervish: Harmony Hill
L:1/8
M:9/8

I came across almost the same version in Seamus Eagan's "When Juniper Sleeps" and later found Grey Larsen's setting is also similar to it. I've never heard the tune played in a real session, so I thought this version is more popular.
