The one at 2:30 is The Blarney Pilgrim.

Thanks for that, Avi. No wonder it sounded so familiar -- I learned it on fiddle and have obviously since forgotten it!
Your tune at around 1 minute is The Rakes of Kildare, I am pretty certain. A very regularly played tune in sessions and one we play a lot in Scotland.
Thanks, John. The fella unofficially "leading" the session is a Scot himself, so you are most likely correct identifying the tune as The Rakes of Kildare. With a name (or often several different names for the same tune!), I can look into it more myself. Thanks for the help.
The requested tunes seem to have been identified correctly - at least in my experience. But the OP didn't ask for help with the first tune. Perhaps because it's a bit fragmented? IMO, it's a lovely tune sometimes called Scattery Island

There's a slide with the same title but that's a different tune:

That's Banish Misfortune. As you say, the timing notation is wrong. It's a jig (6/8).
