The air "Eochaill", Youghal Harbour, turns up in many different songs, most famously perhaps in P J McCall's Boulavogue. Other songs using the same tune that I can think of are:- Muldoon, the Solid Man Sweet Omagh Town The Galway Shawl The Ould Triangle Moreton Bay Edward on Lough Erne's Shore The odd thing is that I've been to some sessions where two, or even more, of the above songs have been sung without the singers or listeners even realising that the tune was being repeated!
