You're right about the main placenames.

Verse 2.2. "... shores of DOon" scans better?

3.1. : They proudly step on board with Jim and feel no hurt or harm

4.2 : .... tragic story of the charming Una Bawn
We had a thread or two about that one too! 4.4. sing a requiem...

5.4. : Carrigeenroe

The tune is that used for "Banna Strand" - one or two of the lines seem to have been suggested by that, too. Not sure if we have it in the DT?
