Subject: RE: What does 'Hal an Tow' mean?

Check out the version by the Oyster Band on their "Trawler" album (1991).
On the subject of folk customs: anyone know what "moneymore" means as in "The Bantry Girls Lament"..."when Moneymore comes round". (I believe this song is not from bantry in Cork, but in Bantry in north Wexford/south Carlow and the song is set during The Peninsula War, circa 1810).
