I’d like to know what they are …

Three tunes there, actually, and they’re all listed in the description of the video: Ryan’s/Farewell to Whalley Range/The Ashplant. Two slipjigs and a reel.
I know the first tune by another name, but can’t think of it at the moment (I was thinking Doodley, Doodley, Dank, but that’s not right). Whalley Range is clearly a modern composition…I’ve never heard it before nor would I care to hear it again 
and they follow those two tunes with the reel The Ashplant.
Oh … duh … thanks. 
Mcgoldrick wrote Farewell to Whalley Range
I’ve heard the first one known as “The Whinny Hills of Leitrim.” On a Chulrua CD I think? My least favorite tune! 
Agree with Brad on the 1st. More usually played thus, in my experience -
The first one is “The Cock and the Hen”, but it has a lot of alternate names, including “Ryan’s”. See the comments on Kenny’s link above for more info.
I’m pretty sure Chulrua recorded it in a set with “The Whinny Hills of Leitrim” and stuck that title on both tunes, claiming they were two different settings of the same tune.
Hey, I like Farewell to Whalley Range! Have you heard John McSherry play it? Sounds great on the pipes.
By the way, that video is so cute! Isn’t it nice to see some young people getting famous on YouTube playing Irish music.

They play the same tune in two keys, I think that’s why they said two versions.
Justine, I wasn’t complaining about Whalley Range, I like that one. I learned it just so I can play it with you.
No, I was the one who complained about it. I like some of Mike McGoldrick’s tunes, but this one doesn’t do anything for me. I guess it might sound good on the pipes though!
The track listing says “Whinny Hills of Leitrim / Arragh Mountains”. The actual track contains a slig jig I don’t know, “Cock and the Hen” in f#, “Cock and the Hen” in b, and “Arragh Mountains”.
I’m pretty sure the liner notes claim both the first and second tune are the “Whinny Hills”, but since I have no idea where my copy of the CD is (MP3 server is much more convenient) I cannot check that. At any rate, neither of them is the tune I know of as “Whinny Hills of Leitrim”, though they both sort of very vaguely resemble it in very different ways.
That’s what I thought, with all the things kids could potentially spend their time on these days. I haven’t been able to interest my own kids in ITM (yet 
), but they do spend a good portion of their time playing music together, which makes me glad. Even if it IS amplified. 
(fortunately, they go for jazz and blues instead of the head-banging stuff)
