While it's very much in the Percy French manner, the composer appears to have been one Arthur Lochhead: Click here . Haven't made a serious search for the sheet music.

Nice one. I had forgotten Willie Brady but I do remember seeing his act in a kind of touring variety concert in the 1950s. His style is quite similar to fine the English 'troubador' Elton Hayes; a contemporary.

I vaguely remember Brenda O'Dowda singing "The pride of Tipperary". This could be the title you are looking for. Check out Brendan singing "La Golandrina" on Youtube - Excellent.

It's sung on Youtube by 90 year old Leo Dougherty.

The poster has it as "Phil the Fluters Ball", but it certainly isn't PTFB, although it does sound as though it could have come from the pen of Percy French.
