This is how the 3rd Battalion is described in the 1910 Army List.  "The Kerry Regiment" probably still survived as an alternate name:

Another example from the paper:

Kerry Evening Post. - Saturday 10 October 1914, page 2

THE KERRY MILITIA

We understand that the 3rd Battalion, Royal Munster Fusiliers (the old Kerry Regiment) which has been living under canvas in the Barrack Square, Ballymullen for some weeks past, will be removed to Cork at the end of the present month…..
