J.M. Crofts - not a lot known, but possibly....? Copied from website, countysongs.ie
If he was 24 in 1911, thus my fit with my grandfather having picked up the song. There are sound clips on the website for the lower songs on the list.

J M Crofts

I have no biography of Joseph M Crofts. The best I can find is a Joseph Mary Crofts (age 24) who was recorded in the 1911 Census as a 'delph and hardware merchant' living in Dublin at 82 Camden Street, Lower West Side. He could read and write, and was fluent in Irish and English languages. His songs include :-

The Carlow Maid
Lament for Patrick Pearse
Sweet lovely vale of Adare
Eileen McManus
Wild Colonial Boy
A battle hymn
Galloping Hogan
Irish Rover

Bring me a shawl from Galway

Carlow maid

Chimes of Cove are pealing

Eileen McManus

Irish Rover

Sweet lovely vale of Adare
