But it is Irish. Its HQ is in Dublin.

It has dual HQs. The one in Dublin is tiny (or at least it was the last time I visited), all the executive leadership is based in SF.

So why do they say they are dual HQd in Dublin/SF? Is it purely for tax purposes? How is it any different to other tech companies having their EU HQ in Ireland? I've tried researching this but I can't seem to find info on it
