Paddy in London - D major jig

I believe this to be the correct name for this tune , the source being O'Neill"s. There are 2 other tunes which at times receive the same title, namely Vince Broderick's G jig "The Flail", and also the A minor jig 'The Mug of Brown Ale'. But I gather these are misnomers.

Can anyone confirm the correct name as the above ?

Probably a version of "The Four Courts": http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/6447

This always struck me as a bit similar to Maloney's wife http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/1895
