Nice find.
It is indeed a Cross Belt plate to a Local Irish Militia of around the date you suggest.
I cant read the name but if you get the first two letters of it you should be able to find out who.
If it is 'R', here are some to choose from:-
Rosanalle's Volunteers
Rathdowney Volunteers
Roxborough Volunteers
Royal Tralee Volunteers
Roscommon Independent Forresters
Rathdown (County of Dublin) Light Dragoons
Roscrea Blues
Ross Union Rangers
Rockingham Volunteers
Ross Volunteer Guards
Rafoord Brigade (Light Cavalry)
Rathangan Union
Ralphsdale Light Dragoons
regards
