I can't tell you much about this.  I think of it as one of those common tunes which I never hear.  There a lot of tunes with that air of virtual commonness about their airs (not sure about their grace-notes).

I'm having to jog my memory by flicking through a few books to see the start of tunes.  This particular aide memoir lives in Ceol Rince na hÉireann Vol1.  I'll very likely be looking through Vols 2, 3, 4 (not sure about this one; it has some very strange things in it) and 5 to be reminded of more tunes.
