P6 Students in Ireland looking to sit the Irish Variant in September

I tried to enter for the P6 sitting in Cork for September 2015.
When you go through the process the only variant you can select is the UK variant.
It looks like you cannot sit the Irish variant of the P6 paper in Ireland in September 2015.

Has anyone else found this to be the case?
If Irish students cannot sit the Irish version of the P6 paper in September whats the point in running the exam?????

I know some students may wish to sit the UK variant but I’m fairly sure the vast majority would want to sit the Irish variant.

Any comments would be very welcome.
