The small 'pill-box' hat worm by the RIC constables in this image was apparently withdrawn from service in Oct 1900 and replaced by a peaked hat (similar to that worn by Gardaí today) - source: irishconstabulary.com/constables-cap-badges-t561.html

I can read one of the badges - "The Church Lads Brigade".

There's some info on the various badges here which may help with dating.

Not an exact match, but from this wikipedia page on the Brigade (which still exists): Sergeant (three chevrons and a green sash with a button emblazoned with the C.L.B. crest) could be the left middle back row, and: Warrant officer, first class (two crowns, one on each arm, and a drill cane) right middle back row (although here he is wearing two pips on his cap).

As the name suggests the Church lad's Brigade (and the Church Girl's Brigade) are associated with the Church of England (and presumably Ireland). So this is probably a CoI church or hall behind, in Waterford.

Pill box hats - before 1900 and the introduction of peaked forage hats.

Does the headgear indicate a particular period?
