Under wassenaar, any country could opt out of part or all the
agreement without penalty. Afterwards Ireland did stick the finger up
at it in relation to at least some parts of the agreement, the key
length stuff in particular I believe was completely blown away by
provisions of the ecommerce related bills, though I don't have exact
references for that, just a memory of some Irish Times financial
article.
