So - at this point is Apple and other companies going to move out of Ireland? I mean they have invested a lot and got there, probably they did alright in the situation, Ireland is a relatively nice place to move your company, it just isn't as nice as it was before - that is to say I'm not sure how bad it really is for Ireland.
Apple has been in Ireland since 1980. In the past 5 years it has invested €250 million into its Cork campus alone, and has just announced an expansion to bump its 6,000 strong workforce to 9,300.
