It's a ridiculous comment in many ways but there is an interesting glimpse there of how people are thinking about this.

As for Google and Amazon and their datacenters in Ireland, as well as all the tax deals there I think that tax advisors are right now working overtime on how to limit the damage to their Irish clientele.

Maybe a good time to buy land around Frankfurt a/M.

There are 2 Irelands. Northern Ireland is part of the UK, Republic of Ireland is a sovereign nation. The latter is where all those DCs are.

Ah, I thought some of them were North of the border. Foresight at work!

not really, more RoI giving massive discounts on tax at work.

Most tech on the island is south of the border due to that.
