According to the fiddler's companion this is related to rather than a version of The Tar Road to Sligo. http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/151

The first part of the tunes are very similar but the second parts are quite different. I found this tune years ago when browsing through O' Neill's.

Key

The Fiddler's Companion lists this tune as B minor but it resolves on D and to me it is a d tune rather than B Minor.

Would agree with that. We play 'Tar Road' a lot and that I have in 'D' My start chord is Bminor in bar 1 and again in bar 5.
