Royal Irish Rifles Badges
The small die cast wm badge in Luke's link is a collar badge. Attached is a similar badge, but facing right. The badge worn in the photo of the 9th Bn officer, is probably an OR's brass cap badge. Never seen an officer's quality badge this size. (Billy the collars should be facing inwards, but seems to be a lot of leeway with badges during WWI). The WM collar in CB's post were adopted in 1913.
