Alphabet has a massive workforce of X000s in Ireland, spanning full time, part time, and contractor/vendors. They operate multiple massive buildings around Grand Canal, across product areas.
Not sure where you saw that they have no workers in IE?
- Retric 3y ago> and yes Ireland. I think you missed that bit so I edited it for clarity. I am not saying they have no workers in Ireland, I am saying Ireland’s tax policy doesn’t increase the number of workers. As the Alphabet shell corp has no workers. Alphabet itself does. It’s a 190,000 worker behemoth attracted by a cheap English speaking workforce in a reasonably close time zone.

It’s their shell company that’s empty. https://www.apple.com/ie/job-creation/ https://www.apple.com/ie/job-creation/ UK has ~6,500 so together over half their European employees are in English speaking countries which makes sense.
