In this ape’s present place of economic exile, the
Irish government’s one-trick-pony economic policy of
facilitating tax avoidance is coming increasingly
under scrutiny.
Die Zeit has a piece on the discrepancies in corporate
tax rates here

14.4% and note that other jurisdictions want to get in
on the patent scam.
The ‘Double Irish in a Dutch sandwich’ aka the
‘Bermuda Triangle’ plays a prominent part in an
article on European ‘Taxdumping’ in general here.
But the best article comes from the popular computer
magazine Heise which has a somewhat left-leaning
journalistic cadre. In a piece entitled roughly

advertising of Ireland as a tax-haven within the EU,
the catastrophic official unemployment rate and
the forced emigration.
