It’s also a national quota, not an individual one so Ireland may send former world junior champion Ian O’Sullivan instead

Ireland could also exchange the quota for another event

I wish somehow  stumbles onto one of the two quotas for women's trap, but I know its impossible

I really hope Ireland exchanges this quota for women’s trap. Aoife Gormally  deserves a chance as she is the best performing of the Irish shooters recently. Hopefully our federation will make this sensible choice

But any change would have to be in favor of another men's event... Which makes me think that any chance of getting a women's quota is gone.

Or maybe not, who knows at this point.

Forgot that it has to be the same gender

No reallocations have been awarded in women’s Trap. Maybe there were no available candidates. In that case could  decline the men’s quota and be awarded the women’s?

 

Although I may be unfair on Ian O’Sullivan who could also get the quota.

Sadly Aiofe's Olympic dreams are over. There are 16 reallocations here, 8 per each gender. If you reject men's trap quota which your federation  won't,  gets the men's trap quota. Quotas cannot be exchanged between genders at all, so it's either 0 or 1 men's trap quota. That would mean imbalance of gender.

There were only 16 reallocations as of now so ISSF decided to award them such that it'll be 8 per gender.

No they reallocated based on the missing quotas due to the returning of tripartite quotas, events which Japan qualified, continental qualifiers where no one got the MQS and North Korea's withdrawn quotas. It has nothing to do with keeping it gender balanced. The two extra women's trap quotas were allocated because there are no eligible nations remaining.

 

Should Ireland withdraw in the men's trap, they will be eligible again in the women's trap (since they no longer have a quota) while the men's trap quota will go to Fiji or Luxembourg.

How did 1 quota become 2? Ireland withdrawing so that Ireland and Fiji qualifies sounds funny
