That does sound a bit odd to me too. I'm not really in the know about all the details, but I get that it's about companies trying to avoid taxes in Europe. I bet the European Court will end up slapping Ireland with a fine.

Yeah so from what I know about the situation Ireland has been a known tax haven for decades and the rest of the EU hated that and somehow told them they had to raise taxes. Ireland did but also gave various businesses something like tax breaks if they created X amount of jobs or some other conditions and the EU hated that because I guess it was still to low and easy to hit.
