Possibly.
I have been watching that thread and I am disappointed that Germany is effectively going to exclude GraphineOS, Iodé, /e/, LineageOS and other degoogled phones.
As far as I know, Ireland has not shown their code so their is a chance that we will not.
I have email correspondce from the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation back in September indicating that they may be open to doing using a more open standard.

@coraven@mastodon.ie @otfrom@functional.cafe I hope they do. If they can show it can be done, it'll put pressure on other governments too.

@craignicol@glasgow.social @otfrom@functional.cafe Specifically I asked the Minister about if would they require Google's Attestation on Android and if the app would be exclusive to Google Play and Apple App Store and therefore users be subject to their T&Cs. Attestation - they recognised that Google Play is not mandated and open security standard were recommended. Stores - 3rd party app store and direct distribution were not ruled out and were being considered. Their position could change, but the consultation is vital.
