Broad Majestic Shannon + Pricks and Dicks

There is a flute tune which is in both BMJ and a song on Crock of Gold. I even heard it on a John Galway album. What is that little tune from?

Harp tune, in fact. It is Tabhair Dom Do Lamh (Give me your hand) by Ruairi Dall O'Cathain (1570-1650). More info and links to samples here.

I agree. No, I don't. Actually, I don't know. HELP.
