I am all in favour of competitive taxes. But the game Ireland played was risky from the start. Make tax cuts just to bring in HQs and offices from internationals isn't really a long term strategy, they go as fast as they come. The goal of a country should always be to have the best environment for the whole economy. Opening new HQs is probably a good PR stunt for the politicians, though.
