I suspect it was just another asking "what's the name of this tune?" They tend to have a shelf-life limit...

Hopefully gtag will add something more here in the comments...

The Day We Paid the Rent
E. Galway concertina player Claire Keville recorded this reel citing O'Neill's 1001 as the source. The sleeve notes of "An Tri is a Rian" include a story on her trip to New York: When she played the reel for Jack Coen during her visit to the city, she was informed that J. Coen's father used to play it on the concertina. Flute player Jack Coen, too, is incidentally from E. Galway.
Speaking of Jack Coen, he and his brother Charlie recorded a somewhat similar tune.

To my ear, this reel has a Scottish feel. Perhaps, originally a strathspey?
