Of course, we know Aer Lingus won’t be joining oneworld anytime soon:

“We have no plans to join oneworld. We still have to do the business case for joining oneworld,” Aer Lingus CEO Stephen Kavanagh said Tuesday at the European Aviation Conference in Dublin, according to the Irish Independent. - Nov. 15, 2017, USA Today
But according to American Airlines CEO Doug Parker, AA (IAG?) seeks adding EI to the transatlantic AA-AY-BA-IB Joint Business Venture next year. Not much use to oneworld, nor probably to AA flyers - if AA marketed codeshares operated by EI sell at a premium over EI fares. Link to View From the Boarding Area Article.
