I've been "googling" and I see that the Cló Iar-Chonnachta label includes several recordings of Ceaití an Chúil Chraobhaigh . I didn't actually search the CIC catalogue, but rather the discography at http://www.mustrad.org.uk/discos/lea_txt1.htm
Album no – artist – album title:
CICD 153 – Máirtín Pheats Ó Cualáin - Traditional Songs From Connemara
CICD140 - Dara Bán Mac Donnchadha - Rogha Amhrán (1999)
CIC005 - Dara Bán Mac Donnchadha - An Meall Mór
CIC022 - Treasa Ní Mhiolláin - An Clochar Bán
CIC004 - Seán Chóilin Ó Conaire - Maire Mhór
Or could "Cailín an Chúil Chraobhaigh" be a gender-reversed version of "A Ógánaigh an Chúil Chraobhaigh" which is found on CICD132 - Eilís Ní Shúilleabháin - Cois Abhann na Séad , Amhráin ó Mhúsrcraí, (1997) (Words available for a fee from http://www.briathra-amhran-ceol.scotnet.co.uk/system/index.html ) and recorded as a slow air by instrumentalists Jackie Daly and Séamus Creagh on Gael-Linn records
Neil Boyle, a Donegal fiddler, had a tune called "Rathad na mBurcach" with a verse of a song about making poitín (but the titles are quite different, the difference between a big ship, Long Mór, and a road, rathad)
