  Thanks for that info and thanks for uprighting my picture. 
  I always thought the smoke bush was taller with large roundish dark red leaves. This plant was about 1-5 m tall with small green teardrop shaped leaves. It could be a diffetent variety of Cotinus. Thankyou. 😊

  I'm not sure that this is a variety of Cotinus.  I have a couple of green ones, the leaves are rounder, and the colour is more of a lime green, changing to a variety of shades of green as they age.

  Cotinus can have green leaves, purple or even yellowish leaves.
  Do please go back and take more pics.
  
  Leaf shaped do vary. See eg below...

  I think it may be Cotinus coggygria 'Young Lady', which is grown mainly for its flowers, though it does have good autumn colour in a warm year.  

  Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
