We know about the discussions in the background. This was designed for Greece alone. It was a marginal enough imposition on Ireland and we are glad to help the Greek situation. It would be the height of foolishness to be pursuing this on behalf of Ireland. First off, the answer will be "No" and there is no possibility of this being applied to Ireland.
Anyway I have other objectives to pursue which have a better chance of making progress.
