I suspect that will be news to most (97%) of Irelands population :-) Ireland is very much an English speaking country with Irish coming a distant second despite both being 'official' languages and the latter being our traditional tongue.
Ireland (in the EU) are likely to do the same and restrict the use of disposables.It's taking a while to legislate for however. The restrictions are likely to be environment & anti litter focused rather than health related and have industry lobbyists to contend with.
