Ireland Says "Hey, Hey, Hey. Goodbye!" to the Vatican

Ireland just announced it will be closing the Vatican embassy for not yielding any economic returns.

"Dublin's foreign ministry said the embassy was being closed because "it yields no economic return" and that relations would be continued with an ambassador in Dublin. 
The source said the Vatican was "extremely irritated" by the wording equating diplomatic missions with economic return, particularly as the Vatican sees its diplomatic role as promoting human values."
Does this mean the official government position in Ireland is now that Catholicism has no value?  One can hope.
