Looks longer than a 20' but not quite 40' box. Maybe a 30' like the FIF on page 2 of the thread which is an odd(ish) size
Tis indeed a 20' box. Some info from the 1975 CIÉ Sales Manual

I came across this recently which is pretty epic. Never knew there was such thing as a 10ft tanktainer!

I think this highlights the need for a few extra lugs to become available at some point although we don't have 10' containers yet. The third container belongs to Ceimicí Teoranta a semi-state company involved in production of natural sweeteners e.g. Glucose bottom of the signage, like Comhlucht Siúicre Éireann Teoranta. Obviously beet and sugar had a much larger market share. I'd wager the last container is a reefer or insulated as alluded to above.
Some seen here in this thread few 2013, maybe at Cork Yard but not 100% on that
The tanktainer on the left is the same as the two on the right just you're looking at the opposite side. They were indeed for transport of Bulk Glucose. Looks like they had a white livery to begin with and got the blue livery later on.
Some info from the 1975 CIÉ Sales Manual which shows the opposite sides of two of them...
