uh, guys? thanks for the socio-political analysis... i think!

i disagree with wolfgang that bawnog is a town near bantry - this song is most definitely NOT from cork... so i'm all for thinking it is actually the village green (or some sort of gathering place)

yah, martin, i think you are correct in thinking it is a wexford song - though i'm not sure about Moneymore being a place reference.

and i'll take airto's word for "buckeens" - sounds plausible to me.

thanks all. feel free to talk amongst yourselves...
