Tin Whistle tabs

I have them, I will place a link soon

and also I found a fault in the sheetmusic, what was placed good in the ABC, 3rd line, the first two b's, had to be placed with a dot after the note, so what was written in the ABC with a "3".

For what it's worth, this is what I play on the mandolin, without dynamics and gracing:

But I haven't listened to the original for years so it's probably totally different.
