I have had a look at the agreement. In the context of those of us hoping to voluntarily buy additional UK years, what does this bit mean?

@SGWidow I'm assuming you have also read these two threads:
State pension - do UK buyback rules conflict with Irish years?
Context: I'm one of the 400,000 people who worked in the UK for whom records of some national insurance contributions appear to have been lost by HMRC. In my case, 5 years, 1987-1992, just before I moved to Ireland. I have sent them some evidence I have of my payments but I'm getting nowhere...

Credited UK NI contributions as a teenager - why?
That's correct. I registered with an ROI address

The summary about why it *may* work for voluntary buyback despite "overlapping" rules is:
"You can't legally be compulsorily insured in two member states but you can legally be compulsorily insured in one state and voluntarily contribute in another."
I'd be interested to know what @Marc thinks.
