The first tune is a reliable old standard.  The second one is sometimes played a key below the present one but is handier on the flute in A minor.  You can get the dogs to yelp a bit louder in the higher key.

* Thanks to William for pointing out that the first tune is not The Reel of Mullinavat.  I think it is Gerry Commane's Reel.  I'll put the tune which belongs to the "Reel of Mullinavat" on when I get a chance.
