Good tune, but why bother with the c sharp, there are no c's in it. To me, that sounds not like e dorian but e minor. I just like to get it straight.

Clancy's Jig

The key is B minor hence the two sharps in the signature.

What key then, Bmix?

I don't think so. Gmaj/Emin-ish, maybe?

I recently had a chance to play this jig in Dublin, together with a certain top-rated flute player. Naomh Padraig Ceili Band played it a few years ago to win the All-Ireland.
