I haven't got a recording of Eileen herself playing it. Does one exist? If so, could someone transcribe her setting here in the comments please?

Listen to John Carty playing the above setting here: http://www.cranfordpub.com/recordings/carty-Yeh.htm. I hear the Fs in A-part bar 6 as somewhere between F nat and F sharp.

Paddy O'Brien's daughter, isn't she? Marcas O'Murchu also recorded this tune on the flute.

Yes.
Is there a recording of her playing this tune? I haven't got Newtown Bridge so am not familiar with it.

Hey, Mark. You can listen to the live recording of her concert with Deidre McSherry on the Net. It's in the archive of RTE Radio's The Late Session: http://www.rte.ie/radio1/story/1015109.html (Weds 18th August 2004) She doesn't play this tune though.
