Fuck that's depressing reading. I understand what US corporations get out of this but I'm still unsure why Ireland goes to this length to be a tax haven. What's in it for them?

They get to tax those trillions at an extremely low rate, right?

I'm pretty sure Ireland is now the richest country in the EU

Technically Luxembourg. But Ireland is #2 by both GDP per capita and by mean income.
