    Why would they, They keep saying they are here for the skills of the population.
    They can say they're here for the good weather, it doesn't make it any more real.

    We are an island with a crappy infrastructure and a very expensive workforce. It may take Apple a few years to move its business to a cheaper location, but it would sure as hell scare off a portion of MNCs currently considering relocating to Ireland.

    The infrastructure is fine. Very expensive work forces are also ok for high value technology companies. No point moving to BelaRus unless you only want to hire locals. And if the EU cracks down on this stuff there is nowhere else to go.

    They don't actually say they are here for the skills of the population.
