This has absolutely nothing to do with H1B visas. Cork, Ireland is the EMEA headquarters and where the call centre, finance and logistics are managed. No engineering work is done there.
Developers however are spread all over the place (some in Stockley Park/Covent Court, London, Paris etc) and some of their acquisitions never moved e.g. Cambridge. That said even these developers are on the periphery and mostly doing localisation type engineering e.g. supporting the various EMEA specific payment/shipping methods for the Apple Online Store.
If you want to work on core iOS, OSX, iPhone, iPad etc then you still need to be in Cupertino.
