This is an extract from Paul Brady's website, referring to 'Homes of Donegal.'

It was around so long I originally thought it was a traditional song. Now I know it was written by a
Donegal man called Sean McBride from around the Mountcharles area who recently died in his 90th year on the island of Inishturc off Mayo. Go ndéana Dia grásta ar d'anam, a Sheáin!
