Thank you. The badge on the sporran & collar insignia were difficult for me to clearly make out (due to the size of the photo & my failing eyesight I'm afraid  ), hence why I'm unsure 
If anyone else can shed light upon this individual, or have thoughts on the subject, I'd appreciate & welcome the information.

I assure you Richard, that the service information that was included with the photo / provided for the gentleman is correct.
Other than that...

I would almost bet that these are members of the IRA's Cork Pipe Band that are pictured in our* article on the origins of the Irish kilt.

Very well could be. I recall that they were referred to in the original caption as "the famous Cork Pipe Band".
Jim Driscoll (1880-1925) was also known as "Peerless Jim", a former featherweight boxer (his career spanned the years 1901 to 1919). He was very involved with the Irish community in the Newtown area of Cardiff.

Seated on the right in this picture of some Fianna Éireann members is Irish patriot Con Colbert, wearing a saffron kilt. Colbert was a teacher at St.Enda's school. He was executed for his role in the Easter Rising.
