'The Instructor' is the instructor who is checking the docs and signing the revalidation. It does not say it is the instructor who carried out the one hour flight.
Anyone I signed for had done an IR anyway so instructor flight excempt, please explain how the signing instructor would have done a refresher flight that the SEP was excempt from and so hadn't done?
Did the required IAA briefing in it's HQ. Seem to remember being awake the whole time.
To assist the OP, an IAA FI with 945 can only sign Irish licences and even the signing should 'normally' take place in Ireland. You can of course present yourself in the licencing office in Dublin with all relevant docs and ID and request an IAA FCL officer to sign your SEP.
It's a revalidation not an exam or skills test.
