Ireland tabled a bid to secure a three-year contract to host the WRC from next year before it was halted in April after failing to obtain the required government funding.
The WRC Promoter had approved plans to bring the championship back to the island nation for the first time since 2009, if the required funding was secured. Motorsport Ireland had asked for €15 million from the Irish government to spread across the three-year contract, which it failed to secure within the required timeframe.
