    I’m surprised by that too, although reading between the lines of the article suggests to me that it’s a result of some specific engagement with the Irish regulator that has led to them pausing the EU launch - so it’s not a result of a prima facie reading of the law (which should be the same), but rather some Irish regulatory action taken in GDPR’s name.
