They started lowering the corporate tax in 1995, so if you look at the graph from 1995 to now and compare it to the US graph from 1995 to now, the curves are nearly identical, only the US is much less fluctuating.

If by nearly identical, you mean growing twice as quickly.

That page allows displaying both on the same graph (compare to "US GDP") and when placed by side by side it's easy to see that Ireland has grown at least twice as quickly since 1995.
