VIRGIN MARY. AKA see “Phis Fhluich (An),” “O’Farrell’s Welcome to Limerick.” According to Finbar Boyle, this alternate title for 'An Phis Fhliuch' has no provenance in traditional Irish music “beyond a certain recording by a group of Irish musicians, made in France in the early 1970s.” “Virgin Mary” was a witticism provided by one of the musicians who was asked the name of the tune at the time.
