Yep, this one's in Breathnach's Volume 2, collected from the playing of Julia Clifford.
I play this a bit different, as follies:

The A part alwaysreminds me of Toss the Feathers, and the B part shares lots of similarities with Bantry Lasses and Miss Glavin's. Variations comes easy by mxing and matching bits of these different tunes, as long as you don't lose the thread of Tap the Barrel.
