The original title of the page is "Refer a Software Developer. Make $30,000!" and seems to be for hiring developers in Boston and Dublin (Ireland).
I wonder if they selected Dublin as their EU base as some sort of strategy to minimize their tax exposure, as they would have more developers available to choose from in one of the more populous EU countries.

Dublin also doesn't have to compete with the City for IT people in the same way London does There is also the tax dodge aspect which it looks like the wheels are coming off in a big way.
