They aren't making them leave Ireland at all
They are asking Apple to operate legally in Ireland a country that has chosen to give their consent to the EU to apply their laws.
Ireland dont get to pick and choose which EU laws to obey any problems you have with them then its up to Ireland to eiher comply or leave.

You know exactly what I meant by that. If big companies like Apple and Google don't get big tax breaks here they'll just move to somewhere where they will get them

Then thats a problem with Ireland being in the EU if its too much of a problem for them they should leave.
Like i said if Ireland want to be a tax haven then being in the EU isnt an option.

Probably
I hope Ireland Leave the EU.
I am in no way knocking the way Ireland operate my problem is with the EU and this is why i voted for the UK to leave!
(no matter how many sweaty middle aged student hippys try and tell me anybody that wanted to leave the EU is a racist)
My entire problem with the EU is the amount of control they hold over finance and lawmaking decisions.

Well, this is not a good move on their part if they want to make sure we stay (or maybe they don't actually care either way ) They weren't very understanding of our position with Northern Ireland either now they're leaving the EU

Well my original point does still stand.
Ireland will never be free to make its own decisions while it is part of the EU.

The UK gives tax breaks to the film and creative industry all under the umbrella of the EU, Apple is being looked at purely because of its financial clout and because it's presence attracts other companies, the jealousy this has do stirred up is priceless, considering the Uk voted out of the EU it's no longer your business
