Emily Ball was a fiddle player who helped Aidan at a Folkworks project in 2002.
Also heard she was a cook there? But not sure!

Did Aidan actually write the tune?

Yes, it was written by Aiden O'Rourke.
I heard this tune on a recording by the Anna Massie band, it was a member of that band whom I learnt this tune from.

Some tied notes
A fantastic tune - thankyou for working out the abc.
As I've heard it there are some tied notes which really help the syncopation. I've added them in them in in this version of your abc:
