Looks like they've updated their FAQs on their website. This is what it now says re: MECIR and IREX;
21. If I am selected for the Trainee Program and I do not have a MECIR - will I require a pass in IREX prior to commencing the Trainee Program, if selected? Yes - You must have achieved a pass in IREX prior to commencing the program. However you can still progress through the Trainee selection process prior to having a MECIR as MECIR will be completed as part of the program.
So, you'll need to have done your IREX before starting the trainee program (if selected).

Thanks
Confirmed, IREX is "just" the written test.
