I'm not sure that they Ireland is back on its feet. Unemployment is still high in certain areas. The bank bailout crippled the country, forced really high taxes on those who really shouldn't have been held accountable (low income earners). That said, Apple (and many other mult-nationals) seized an opportunity and ran with it. The moral responsibility to pay taxes should be on the CEO and the board.
