Not a clue but now that you've asked its bugging me, the origins of sayings is always interesting.

That seems to fit somehow. He used to say it in Glenroe?...but where did he get it from? Was there a 'Janey Mack' character in Glenroe? Why would he use Janey Mack's name to express surprise? So many questions....

Janey Mac! is an exclamation of amazement or frustration in Dublin. It comes from an old children's rhyme: "Janey Mac, me shirt is black, what'll I do for Sunday? /Go to bed, cover your head and don't get up till Monday!"
