hello carlos, from my knowledge as a resident in those days of ballinteer rd ,dundrum , as children we used to look over the garden wall and see the thousands of radios coming off the production line , we never knew it as the iec ,[the pye factory]  but they did export models all over the world , and could very well have used that title , for export purposes , pity you dident post a picture of the cabinet and a rear view showing the line up of the tubes ,

phillips bought out the pye factories, both here and in the uk , and closed the factory in dundrum in about 1960 , the family who origionally started up the factory here in ireland were known as the digbys, and this set might be one of theirs , ill enquire at the next meeting of the ivrss , about this trade name , as some of the older members worked in the factory and may have more knowledge than myself , best regards maitiu standun.

hello carlos ,this is very very interesting indeed , oviously this set was made here in dundrum for export to the uk , and that plate would have to be fitted before it could be sold in britain, the gaelige name for ireland is eire , deanta san eireann, means made in ireland , i will research this set in the coming weeks for you . i notice the logo of the irish harp on the grill , even though we have the euro coins here now we have retained an identical harp as that one on the reverse side of our coins ,

i notice the radio is an ac/dc set with a live  chasis , so dont touch any part of it when live , i presume you must understand that , , ill try and store your pictures as ill need to show it to the irish members of the society , regards maitiu standun ,

hello wolfgang, i must respectfully decline your request at this time , for fear of being accused of spreading 'fairy stories' , copious amounts of research need to be carried out in advance of offering detail to the data base , remember this co is probably 50 years gone out of existance , i am presently researching this set and from my own experience as a resident of this village [dundrum] , the only radio factory ever to exist here was pye [ireland] ltd.i intend to bring carlos's pictures to the monthly meeting of the irish vintage  radio and sound society, as there are senior members there who worked in pye , and would know about this set.

i might add that dundrum is no longer a village but it has been subsummed into the suburbs of dublin city , and has been built up into a high density populated area , fondest regards maitiu.
