I got this from the John Whelan recording. It's a fun tune but I often find myself wanting to morph into George White's Favorite if I'm not careful.

Composed by John Dwyer of the famously musical Dwyer family of west Cork. His brothers Finbar, Micheal (RIP) and Richie are all noted composers.

It's similiar to Eddie Kelly's Reel on Gerry O Conner's Rattlin' Banjos album. Infact, I think this is what he meant. Not Eddie Kelly's.
