It literally isn't.


> In 2016–17, foreign firms paid 80% of Irish corporate tax, employed 25% of the Irish labour force (paid 50% of Irish salary tax), and created 57% of Irish OECD non-farm value-add. As of 2017, 25 of the top 50 Irish firms were U.S.–controlled businesses, representing 70% of the revenue of the top 50 Irish firms. (Wikipedia)

Are you sure about that?

If the EU enforces what they preach and Ireland loses its tax haven state they could lose a huge chunk of their GDP.
