Anyone know this jig??

Anyone have an idea what the jig is thats played by the band dropkick murphy in their song 'im shipping up to boston'. It was in the departed... Did they think up the jig themselves or was it taken from an original? You can get it on youtube if u wanna have a listen. I'd appreciate any help, doing a thesis on irish music.

Simple enough tune, I'd say it's probably composed by DKM's themselves.
