It's not piano music but the chords are there so you could try making it up

Answer 2

Most music from theis period is not written down but has been passed down in the oral tradition.  You might try looking in O'Neils (God help you it is very difficult to read) .  If all else fails Comaltas Celtori Erin may be able to help you.  They have chapters all over the world including most major American and Canadian cities.  Their world head quarters is in Monkstown, So. Dublin they should be able to help you or know someone who can.
