That depends on how the other side is connected.
Logically it should be (if old colours and markers were used:
Red - L (permanent live)
Yellow (sleeved red) - L1 (switched live)
Blue - (sleeved black) - N (neutral)

Unfortunatly, there is no set standard for what coloured wire does what.
It depends on how the other end of the wire is connected to the lighting circuit.
The colours GaryMo posted are the standard convention, but it is not forced to be the colour scheme you have.
