Almost all of them are crying about consequences for US businesses. Im here wondering why tf Ireland should give a fuck about that?
There's an economic answer to this (of course there is) that you're not gonna like because I didn't:
Ireland is full of American multinationals who have their European headquarters here. If any of them were to trade with illegally occupied territories under the proposed and broadly supported "occupied territories bill" the fines would be huge and in some cases it would be difficult for those companies to avoid.
Yeah i know that ireland is a tax haven, but why should ireland itself care about those foreign leeches? Its not like they would lose any tax income if the tech companies were to move away lol
