Types of signal indicator equipment used in Ireland

[Wexford70]

Hi folks,

Could any of the knowledgeable group confirm that the signal indicator of the type shown below was used in Ireland?

I believe it is a Sykes Pattern Home Signal Repeater in a mahogany case.

I thought it may have been UK GWR but the signal arm would have been v shaped I believe.

 

Is there any possibility it is from Northern Ireland?

Thanks.

Used all over Ireland, Britain and further afield. No real way of knowing where it came from if not marked with a location.

Would I be correct in thinking red = home, yellow = distant?

In Ireland generally it is red (latterly hi vis orange) for both home and distant.

In Britain it's red for home, yellow for distant although the GNR(I) also followed this convention.
