Source for notated version: "O'Reilly" [O'Neill]. O'Neill may be referring to Martin O'Reilly [1], "The Blind Piper of Galway", the subject of a brief sketch in Irish Minstrels and Musicians (1913, pp. 239-240). O'Reilly played at the Belfast Harp Restival in 1903 (the same year O'Neill published Music of Ireland), where he "was the hero of the occasion" on account of his superb playing.
Printed sources: O'Neill (Krassen), 1976; p. 79. O'Neill (Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies), 1903; No. 1119, p. 211.
