Unlike another time a previously civilized country chose a vicious fascist as its leader, this time the rest of the world seems to know exactly what is happening, and it is not keeping quiet about it.
Thanks, rest of the world. You are giving me hope.

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •@tootbrute @jrefior The EU has no jurisdiction over Irish tax law. (Try reading the Treaty of Lisbon)
It does over competition in the single market. There's no evidence of tax diversion within the EU.

in reply to SamuelJohnson • • •@samueljohnson @tootbrute @jrefior Did anyone say they did? I said they shut down the Double Irish. Which they did.
“Despite US knowledge of the Double Irish for a decade, it was the European Commission that in October 2014 forced Ireland to close the scheme, starting in January 2015.”

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •Hyperbolic language (on Wikipedia, shocking I know). In the absence of jurisdiction the question of "force", legal or otherwise, doesn't apply. The interpretation of competition rules applies to all member states, of course, and can be leveraged to influence non-members as the UK has discovered.
The Commission cannot "force" Ireland to do anything any more than it could the UK. The ECJ, not the Commission, could, and did, compel *Apple* to pay more tax.
