I thought you had it wrong about the Irish FNs, my memory was that it was a pretty standard FN with full auto ability and a minute's googling confirmed that. Only the British (and Australians who used the same pattern) both inched their manufactured versions and made it semi-auto only. Irish fire discipline may well have been up to British standards simply because Ireland could barely afford ammunition. No stick your hand and rifle above the parapet and fire while hosing around.
I would rate such a squad as something like a 7-5-M due to all squad members having automatics and a LMG. The 6 FP of a Soviet 6-2-8 (which had no LMG) + 1 for the LMG. From memory the Squad leader usually had a Carl-Gustav 9mm M/45 (a DO NOT DROP weapon).
