NOTE: What few there are of these are often/always
mistaken for UK (England) copies. The tell-tale signs
of Irish copies are flaws under the labels (Lunar
Landscape), and the omission of Stamper markings
in the runouts of either side.

NOTE: The Lunar landscape flaws can be any size or shape.
Most flaws tend to be in the centre circle (the pushout),
but as you can see here that isn't always the case.
