IS FEARR PAIDIR NÁ PORT (A Prayer is Better than a Tune). Irish, Jig. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Breathnach obtained Pádraig O'Keeffe's tablature manuscript from Jack Connell, nicknamed 'Jack the Lighthouse'. It is played in County Clare in the key of 'D', he remarks, as a stand-alone jig or as two added parts to the "Kilfenora Jig (1)," the signature tune of the great ceili band of the same name. It is related to O'Neill's "Chorus Jig (5)."

Source for notated version: the tune is from the fiddle tablature manuscripts of itinerant Kerry fiddler Pádraig O'Keeffe. The title is from whistle player Micho Russell (Doolin, County Clare) [Breathnach].

Printed sources: Breathnach (CRÉ V), 1999; No. 2, p. 3.
