Ireland's other name (besides Emerald isle).
In an attempt to boost the Irish economy, the
EU
sort of subsidized foreign companies to settle in
Ireland
. Until 2002 (IIRC), those companies only have to pay 12%
tax
instead of the 21%. Second advantage is that the native language is
English
(only 5-10% gaelic), which makes it easier to recruit people from abroad. Third, the Irish population is young, which means a lot of fresh recent
grad
s with up to date technical
knowledge
.
IT companies located in Ireland varying from manufacturing plants (
Dell
,
Intel
), software (
Microsoft
,
Novell
), support centres (
Compaq
,
Gateway
) to
research and development
(e.g.
MIT Media lab
Europe)... and many more.
