Google and Facebook may well be headquartered there, but I suspect it's more for tax reasons than the Guinness.

Tax reasons or not, people are actually moving there. A lot of my former colleagues moved to Ireland (from Croatia).

Now Ireland has both: human capital and tax reasons.

They do need the HQ for tax reasons but they wouldn't need to hire that many people (more than in London for example). They do that because they want to.
