Right Hand Drive Pedal Placement

Last night I had an odd question come to mind. In a RHD version of a car, how are the pedals arranged? In the LHD version, the pedals are (left to right) clutch, brake, gas. Is it the same or is it flipped when the controls are on the right?

Uhhhhhhhh -- I have been to Ireland once and only imagine the difficulties I would have if all the other things would be in a different place, too. (Besides going THE WRONG WAY anyway... )

But a lot of RHD cars have the stalks for the wipers and turn signals swapped versus LHD. Every time I go to a RHD country and rent a car I have the cleanest windshield in the country.
