It is my understanding for two reasons. First, the June decision explicitly states that the eurogroup will be tasked to work on proposals for improving Ireland's debt sustainability. That was a clear, separate and special mention of Ireland. We were the only state to be individually mentioned in that statement. Second, a clear statement was made that similar cases would be treated equally. That anticipated the possibility that the ESM might be used in new situations.
