I have a recording of Joe Heaney singing Óró Mo Bháidín and another recording by O'Hara from the 50's with the song, so I assumed it was trad or old enough to be in the public domain. Aine, I already sent you an email on this, but I noticed on your website that you have the song with "le Pádraig Mac Piarais" after the title. So, can anyone answer this question, is there a copyright existing on this song?

Dear Alice,

Don't know how I missed this thread before -- but, wouldn't you know Ms. Philippa would know the answer!
