Aye, being the vessel the American tech companies have used to seep their rot through Europe with low tax really has paid off nicely

Yes because British imperialism has been so beneficent lmao, from one empire to another, but we're not suffering under this one.

Yeah, but still not prospering from your own successes. More like allowing others to profit through you.

Yeah it was just dumb luck and cheap corporations tax that brought all the American investment to Ireland. We as a people had no say in it, no politicians working for years through areas like foreign relations, investments in third level education. Maybe if your politicians worked at improving your country as opposed to ripping it apart we wouldn't be in this thread.
