Dudeen / Dúidín is a tobacco pipe, typically a short-stemmed clay pipe. According to Bernard Share (Slanguage - A Dictionary of Irish Slang) it also has, er, another meaning.
Comment from Peter Laban on The Session:
“Paddy Killoran recorded this during the fifties and I have always thought it could well have been the inspiration for the Otter’s Holt, many local musicians including Junior Crehan met and played with Killoran on his 1958 and 1960 visits to Miltown Malbay.”
The second reel is The Fair-Haired Lass aka Jig Away the Donkey:
