Where can one find a couple of Beatle recordings,"Give Ireland Back To The Irish" and ".Luck of the Irish" (the latter being,I think, a Lennon song). Thanks.

I know that "Luck of the Irish" is on "Sometime in New York City" by Lennon.
The first one is a McCartney tune, not sure which album... probably late 70's.

Chris, "Give Ireland Back" was the single before "Mary Had a Little Lamb", which puts it in the early seventies - probably 1971-72. Some critics would say that of the two above mentioned songs, "Give Ireland Back" was the more childish nursery rhyme. I have no doubt it was sincere, but it was not one of Macca's better efforts lyrically. The best place to find it would be on a Wings compilation.
