As I said far above, Screen in this song refers, not to the village in Sligo, but is a common abbreviation of Ballinascreen, the Irish name for the town in south Derry/Londonderry renamed Draperstown by the London Company which undertook to develop the land at the time of the Plantation of Ulster (post 1609). |
