same melody as Erin's Green Shamrock Shore

Yes. It's common for Irish songs to share the same melodies.

@Ron Roast he was her dad so not really stealing?

[@funkydunky6366]

The key is way too high for me. I much prefer Paul Brady's version.

Gleanntáin Ghlas Ghaoth Dobhair is not, though the air are similar to Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore, which definitive belongs of course to Paul Brady. I don't think Mairead NiMhaonaigh has Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore in mind when she is singing her father's song.
