I was given a couple of boxes of kings of war revenant skeletons and am just wondering would they fit the bill to be used as TG?

NO! THOU SHALLT BUYETH THE GODLY MINIATURES OF YE GAMES WORKSHOP!

You wouldn't be able to use 'em in a GW store, but if properly equiped you should be able to use them in a FLGS.

They'd only be for competitive play and GW don't run any tournaments in Éire so thanks

GW don't run any tournaments anymore. But there's still a stigma around using non-GW models in GW games in tournaments, if only for WYSIWIG purposes. Just clear it with any TO's.

I'd definitely give them a go. And don't ask permission of your opponent or apologize for using the models you want, just paint them in an appropriate scheme and tell them they are your Tomb Guard. If people really have an issue with it, they'll speak up and most probably won't.

That said, a TO running an event has the last word, so if one decides they don't like it, that'll be that. They're putting on the event, after all.

I have to disagree here. Not the don't apologise part - it's your hobby, use the models you want. But definitely clear anything non-standard with your opponent. It's never nice setting up your army, then as your opponent starts setting up, seeing something confusing. As said, most people won't have an issue with it. But don't leave it until both armies are set up, or worse, the game in play, before someone notices something they don't agree with. It just potentially wastes both players time and leaves both players with a bad experience.

Don't try to pass it off with a reason though. Just be upfront about it. "These are Mantic models, I'm using them as my Tomb Guard.' You'll find people are a lot more accepting if you're just up front about it.
