UK/Ireland FAB

Hi,

Was browsing the NATS 'Media' section earlier:
Frequently asked questions - NATS

There is a question about the UK/Ireland Functional Airspace Block, this became operational on 14th July.

However, my question is, is this actually 'operational' as an FAB is a 'sector of airspace managed and operated as a single unit'. Is this so? NATS still controls the UK airspace (as far as I know ) and the Irish Aviation Authority still controls the Irish airspace - so is this FAB really operational.

Maybe I have missed something here, if so, I apologise in advance!
