Name I think to be wrong
I have this tune on some sheet music naming it as Sweeney's. But I think that's incorrect since it's not even vaguely similar to other Polka's of that name that I've found.

You'll find Sweeney's at http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/1549. It's notated in G but I find it sounds much brighter in A. In fact the Chieftans recorded the two polkas (Sweeney's in A followed by Denis Murphy's) on one of their early albums and it makes for a great combination.
