I don't think you realize which Ireland you are talking about. There's Éire which is the Republic and there is also Northern Ireland, which is the UK bit in Britain.

If UKoGBnNI decided to set a low tax rate ...



I promise you the Dubliners speak english well enough for the multinationals.


Heck, they speak better than plenty of English people I know...


An unwarranted and ultimately discriminatory snipe, but ok.


Now those northerners from Donegal... Sound like they're speaking with a golf ball in their mouth.


The Corkonians on the other hand… LOL


they are obviously talking about the one the article is also about. The other one is btw part of a country that joined the discussed agreement already at an earlier time.


Ireland is the name of the state in the English language.

The name of the state is not the Republic of Ireland - that is the description of the state.

Additionally, we don't call Ireland Éire unless we're conversing in the Irish language.
