So the headline should be, "Ireland to close Apple's tax loophole, but leave bigger one open"

That isn't usually how headlines work unless there is a stronger connection.

'Police catch one thief but leave all others on the street'

More accurately: "Ireland will not close Apple's tax loophole; won't close the other one either.", since the article explains that all Apple needs to do is to declare it's Irish subsidiary to have a tax domicile of Bermuda (or anywhere else without corporate income tax) and Apple's current loophole remains intact.

Exactly

There are ways this can be worked around (quite easily as pointed)

Nothing changes in practice

The new Apple slogan should be:

"Made in China. Designed in California. Taxed in Bermuda."
