I transcribed this from a tape of a performance by Brid Harper (fiddle) and Dermot Byrne (box) at a small club in Ireland. They followed this reel with "The Golden Keyboard" and ended with "Kiss Me Kate."

Breathnach Vol. 3
This appears as "Gan Ainm" as No. 86. It comes from Fred Finn and Peter Horan.

Peter recorded it as "American Reel" on The Sound of the Coleman Country. His version is a good bit different than the sheet music here, but close to Andy McGann and Paddy Reynolds' version.

Glencolmcille (reel)
Paul de Grae, who translated Breathnach's notes*, also has "The Fantastic Reel"as an alternative title.

Glencolmcille (reel)
The B part of this reel is very similar to the B part of "Tom Sullivan's Polka" http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/1820

Horan and McGann/Reynolds settings?
If anyone's written out the setting Sol mentioned, I'd by interested to see them.
