I still haven't come up with a name for the tune, but it is quite similar in parts to the tune of a song called "The Shores of Americay".

Incidentally, while I don't know much about Connie Doyle, he must have been a well known character around Cork. His name shows up in a number of local ballads including "Connie Doyle & Cathy Barry took a sidecar out to Blarney, On the night the goat broke loose on Grand Parade"
