| Summary: |
Bush Ireland; Whitehall, Dublin, Ireland. |
| History: |
Many UK makers had factories or assembly plants in Ireland from 1930s to 1960s. This was due to Tarrif barriers created by Eamon De Valera's "economic war against the British". From 1955 the UK had VHF-FM, which did not start in Ireland till 1962, and in Ireland only had one station initially. UK Export models often didn't have LW, desirable in Ireland for BBC. So in 1950s when UK models had VHF many Irish models were like export models, but with LW replacing one shortwave band |

Generally the Bush Ireland models are UK export model designs with a Shortwave band replaced by Long wave. After 1955 they may use the cabinet of a UK model with VHF. Certainly up to 1962, no model for Irish Market would have VHF Radio. TV started 31st December 1961, so earliest TVs for Irish Market as well as VHF radio, by any maker are from 1961-1962 season onwards. From early in 1950s TVs and from 1955 sometimes VHF Radio were imported to receive TV in East Coast from Wales, later in other areas from Northern Ireland too (Divis, Black Mountain, Strabane). There are some Battery Radios in regular table cabinets; 6V Vibrator driven (using a Plessey type 6SR7 synchronous (i.e. self-rectifying) vibrator unit for a mains design), 2 volt and 1.4V types. Possibly some 2V accumulator models but with 1.4V valves (B7G). There are some Rank Organisation "Bush Ireland" TV sets and Transistor radios.
