That was way back in 2014 in a rented Irish car. There arent any 2017-spec cars there now.
And any such car costs a lot more to run than the earlier WRC's.
If Abu Dhabi come back to sponsor Citroen in 2020 it could mean a third car. That may be where Breen has a couple of 2019 drives to get him ready.

So you're assuming all of these things will happen:
1. Abu Dhabi will return to WRC in 2020
2. Abu Dhabi will return to Citroen WRT
3. The return will mean a third car for Citroen WRT
4. The third car will be driven by Craig Breen instead of any other driver out of contract for 2020.
5. Because of this, Abu Dhabi will buy drives for Breen from Citroen in 2019
Also, I'm still considering the clash of Abu Dhabi and Red Bull a possible reason for their year off and maybe even a reason for moving to another team (maybe M-Sport). But this as highly speculative as any of the statements above.

1-3. is very likely, but step 4. is imo rather unlikely and then 5. sounds like pure fantasy.
ref 4. Sadly Breen was slower than Østberg on most gravel rallies where they started together which looks negative for a role of "reliable point scorer". Citroen already have Lappi as a joker that could possibly win rallies.
