My point is that it's not as bad as some of the channel islands which have one company director for every two people. Yes, the jobs need to be done, but those jobs might not be done in Ireland. Hence the Irish government and society is willing to have a low tax rate in order to get those jobs in Ireland (as opposed to USA). People in the USA might want those jobs in USA, but people in Ireland want those jobs in Ireland. The UK, with it's oodles of "crown dependencies" is a much larger tax haven.
