Subject: Amhrán Mhuighinse same as Rocks of Bawn
Would anyone know if Amhrán Mhainse / Amhrán Mhuinse / Amhrán Mhuighinse is the same melody as The Rocks of Bawn?

I found two references (see below) but I'm not sure if they are commonly agreed or educated guesses.

Tune is same as that of the (in)famous Connemara Gaelic gem, "Amhrán Mhainse" (also Amhrán Mhuinse, Amhrán Mhuighinse).

Rocks of Bawn, The / Amhrán Mhaínse (also as air) (compare melody with melody of Maid from Maraclune #4849)
