Well, for Irish tunes, the best bet is http://www.irishtune.info/ which is a searchable database.

Andrew Kuntz's site, The Fiddler's Companion - http://www.ibiblio.org/fiddlers/ - has plenty of background detail on the origins of tunes from North America, Ireland and the UK.

That's two great resources for starters!
