This tune was composed for Eleanor Plunkett, said to be the last surviving member of her family. The family lived at Robertstown in Kilbeg parish in county Meath. It is said that Eleanor's family were killed by having boiling water poured on them during the disturbances of 1641, but this has never been verified.

Planxty John Irwin
Planxty John Irwin
Carolan composed this tune for Colonel John Irwin (1680-1752) of Tanrego House, Ballysodare Bay, County Sligo. He was High Sheriff for Sligo in 1731. The Irwins had obtained their lands under the Cromwellian settlement. Carolan calls John Irwin the "brave English Irelander" and appreciates his hospitality: "with mirth and joy he fills our glasses, Delights to cheer both lads and lasses."
