Wicklow plate, apparently issued very early 1939.

The only model mentioned is the pre-war Eight, but suggestions there was a range available, so this one is likely as well. Entering as 1939 to match when plate series was issued. Unless the other possibility is a 1937 UK car which somehow arrived in Ireland in 1939.
