Although I am not familiar with the specific fauna found in that formation, it looks very much like a Rhipidomella.  

It does indeed! I just checked some literature on the malahide formation and Rhipidomella is listed in the area where i found this, i have quite a few that are worn out and have good preservation on the internal structures so its nice to be able to tell what they are
