Shall Help: Tune Search/The Wren (9) Help: Tune Search/The Wren 28 Feb 01

I need help! So what's new. I heard this lovely tune on a CD "After the Dance" by Swallowtail, which they called "The Wren". The liner notes say that it was collected in Dingle, County Kerry, from flute and whistle player Cian O'Sullivan. The tune is customarily played for a parade held on St. Stephen's Day (December 26). The Wren is the actual name of the parade celebration but Cian didn't have a name for the tune, so they adopted the tune name as "The Wren." By the way the tune is paired with Mairi's Wedding, flute and fiddle, ahhh yes! I have checked abc files/any other suggestions?
