>Before the ruling Apple was paying about 8B in taxes per year to Ireland. > If multinational corporations are no longer able to do a Double-Irish Dutch Sandwich anymore, it doesn't make sense to stay there.

Ireland has other features which make it attractive to US businesses, including strong historical ties and being the remaining English speaking member of the EU.
