I suspect it is for tax purposes....the corporate tax rate in Ireland is 15% I believe - in comparison to 30%+ elsewhere in the West.

  12.5, or 10 if you are manufacturing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporation_tax_in_the_Republic_of_Ireland http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporation_tax_in_the_Republic...

    Google pays about 1% tax, due to the tax loopholes (Dutch Sandwich and Double Irish, as noted elsewhere in the thread).
