The sad thing is, it's kinda true. Not just Apple, and not just Cork, but overall the 'sweetheart' deals for companies bringing a lot of employment to the country, have helped. They're helping us find jobs rather than directly putting coin in the state purse, but I'm okay with that. This is a country where, in the 70s & 80s, finding a job meant moving to the UK. Now, pretty much everyone I know works for one multinational or another. And the multinationals all came here for the same reason.
