A scary thought..

Interesting article from The Hindu magazine about Ireland:

"Ireland is a paradise built on the back of multi-national companies that flock to the country for its 12.5 per cent corporate tax — the lowest in the EU. But the low tax regime has also earned the country the rather negative tag of a tax heaven with global companies using their Irish operations to maximise profits. The future of the Irish success story is predicated on the stability of Ireland's relationship with the MNCs."
