New Irish Rail Recording Car

Last month IR took delivery of a Geismar track recording car. No further details so far, the only picture I have seen is of it on a lorry covered in tarpaulins. The length suggests a bogie vehicle of 20 metres or more

This new TRM was delivered in 2020 and should be carrying fleet #701?
