   @tootbrute @jrefior That was shut down by the EU but they still bend over backwards for them. https://ar.al/2025/03/21/careless-people/

     @samueljohnson @tootbrute @jrefior Did anyone say they did? I said they shut down the Double Irish. Which they did.

     “Despite US knowledge of the Double Irish for a decade, it was the European Commission that in October 2014 forced Ireland to close the scheme, starting in January 2015.”

     @aral @tootbrute @jrefior The EU has no jurisdiction over Irish tax law. (Try reading the Treaty of Lisbon)

     It does over competition in the single market. There's no evidence of tax diversion within the EU.
