Lovely tune indeed!
Liam plays it on a narrow bore Uillean pipes set in B - so its 3 semi tones depper than notated here.
I have only chanters in Bb and C, but i have amazing slow downer too 🙂
A few wrong octaves, but thanks for posting!

I like playing this tune. I’m surprised there are not more versions recorded. . .

What does the title mean?

Travelling through Blarney.

There’s a fourth recording of this tune (don’t know why the website recording parser didn’t pick it up), performed by Brian McNamara, on the ‘Reed Only’ CD of Brian and concertina player Tim Collins. I have not heard Liam O’Flynn’s performance, but I could (and have) listened to Brian’s interpretation many times. The regs at the end are like a church pipe organ.
