I know there is a body of Scottish lute music out there, but I am
wondering if there is any that came out of Ireland and where I might
find copies of same. Thank you all in advance.
Ireland lacked the royal court which encouraged lutes; their major
instrument was the harp, and its greatest exponent was Turlough
O'Carolan. Allan Alexander has done many fine lute arrangements of
Carolan's music:

I've bought a number of his books, and find his arrangements fit the
lute well and are a pleasure to play.
