The available versions of The Bank of Ireland begin with different key signatures: no sharps or flats, two sharps (D major), and one sharp. Their time signatures are 4/4, 4/4, and 2/2. These details describe the opening of each score, not a confirmed original key or metre for the piece.
One score for The Bank of Ireland credits 'anon.' and the other two leave the composer field blank. Authorship is therefore unconfirmed in the available scores. That does not prove the piece is anonymous or traditional in every source.

The title alone does not show whether the piece is a song, dance tune, or instrumental work. Use the score's notation and any text it contains to judge what kind of piece you are looking at.
Compare the opening key signature and time signature with the version you already know. Check any composer or arranger credit on the score as well. Note counts and durations differ between the available scores, but those details are not reliable guides to completeness or musical quality.
