Apple is categorically the largest employer out of everyone on your list. They employ over 4,000 in Ireland alone and should this particular tax loophole impact that number, it would have a monumentally devastating long-term effect.

Not to mention Apple are the ones who 'pioneered' this 'Double Irish With a Dutch Sandwich' scheme.

Not to nit, but General Electric has at least 4 times as many employees as Apple.

Globally that may be true but Apple definitively employ more people in Ireland than GE.
