I first heard this tune on Hammy Hammilton's CD "The Moneymusk". Hammy plays a duet with my admired Paul McGrattan and they play a set with this tune and "The Hous on the Hill" which I know by the name "Mrs Thornton's" and it makes an excellent set.
It's a very easy and simple tune but I really like its melody and it's rhythm.

Biddy Ryan's
John G. Walsh calls this tune Biddy Ryan's on his album "The Galway Rambler." Does anyone know who Biddy Ryan is/was?

Breathnach Vol. 5
In the Breathnach vol. 5 #138 this reel is called "Father Kelly's" and according to notes on the tune, Father Kelly wrote this one. But don't stick in Father Kelly's as an alternative title because he apparently named all of his tunes and didn't like them being known as "Father Kelly's".
