Paul, Thanks for posting this - I have a more recent vintage ancestor (2nd ggm) who seems to be Alice (as her son named his second Daughter Alice - first daughter was named after his wife's mother - thanks Irish Naming Patterns!) She is listed as Eilis on her marriage certificate, which was always transcribed as Eliz. - but I suspect that it really was either a version of Alice or just a phonetic transcription into the parish register in Ballina.
