New glasses for me?
I think it is difficult to see on the gif, but the 2. and 3. note in the first bar of the second part IS A

Any notes available about the age of this tune/how far back it is known to date?

Sounds like an upside down version of Boys of Ballisadare...

Sounds like a muddled version of The Butterfly.

"The Butterfly" is a muddled version of this, muddled, by all accounts, by Tommy Peoples mixing up two slip jigs... Because one is the better known, as is often the case, does not mean it is the ancestor. This one predates "The Butterfly"....
