Traditional, possibly with a few tweaks to the tune.
Fin and Oshin are Irish heroes of the mythic variety. They go off hunting leaving Young Orry to care for their horses (I think) - but the daughters of the two heroes sweet talk him and then tie him up and set fire to his hair (whatever turns you on, I guess!).
Young Orry escapes, sets fire to their houses in revenge - but the heroes return at that stage and, when the daughters say Young Orry did it, they pull him in two with their horses.
We will bring her album with us when we come over in May.
But in the meantime try this - if I remember rightly this is a modern one, in the traditional style or a carval, written by Annie Kissack who teaches at the Bunscooil. It is 'Born in Bethlehem' and considers not only the Holy Birth, but that of other babies, there, then.
