From Wiki - The economy of Ireland is a knowledge economy, focused on services into high-tech, life sciences and financial services industries. Ireland is an open economy (6th on the Index of Economic Freedom), and ranks first for high-value foreign direct investment (FDI) flows. In the global GDP per capita tables, Ireland ranks 5th of 187 in the IMF table and 6th of 175 in the World Bank ranking."Shall we go, you and I, while we can? Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds" - 12 December 2018 12:02352239Hardly surprising that Ireland attracts foreign investment with a corporation tax rate of 12.5%, meanwhile the wicked Tories continue here.
