It would be "obvious" if taxation was not one of the topics where the EU is specifically structured to not have much power, and leave it to sovereign states. So it would be a matter of making Ireland raise it's taxation rates. I suspect a number of companies, some of which have a fruit as a logo placated on their headquarters far across a certain ocean, would object to that.
