Hi
     Got a reply from army uniform expert  reads as follows he is ac/sgt and therefore an experienced career soldier he appears to have the collar badges of a fusilier regiment though we can rule out any royal regiments eg royal welsh because of the white collar &cuffs may be a 7 on his shoulder strap which could make him a 27th Inniskilling Fusilier whose depot was of course Ireland but no more to go on

The 27th Foot became the 1st. Bn. Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers with the 1881 reorganisation.  As a Royal regiment, they adopted blue facings.  Therefore if the photo is 1881 following, this outfit is ruled out.  The 27th Foot itself had buff facings, but in a picture of a group of NCOs in Regiment magazine taken in 1879, and which includes a man of the same rank as your man, neither shoulder titles nor collar-dogs are to be seen.  Besides, the shoulder titles of the Inninkillings were composed of the grenade with a curved INNISKILLING or variation of this.
