Oh no, how dare we incentivise business. So dramatic too.

They aren't actually bringing in businesses. Companies just say they are headquartered in Dublin with a token officw while doing all their actual work overseas. Do you also believe that every US company is based out of Delaware?

But when people say this they always refer to these massive tech companies like Apple, Amazon, Meta, Twitter, Google, Microsoft etc. all of which employed loads here and have invested loads here.

And they are brining in revenue to the country, which is what we want from our government. To incentivise commerce and increase tax receipts.
