American companies and the backlash to ‘double Irish'
ACCORDING to the American Chamber of Commerce Ireland, nearly one thousand American companies currently operate in Ireland. This could soon change, as there are growing calls from the Trump administration that such offshore activities be brought back home to the United States. 'They hold the intellectual property for many of our top tech and pharmaceutical firms,' said Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on the All-In podcast recently, 'that's something we need to put a stop to.' Top corporations like Apple, Microsoft, and Pfizer are known to have shifted intellectual property to their Irish entities, drastically lowering their corporate tax bill. This is not news to anyone in the EU; a 2014 investigation by the European Commission revealed that Apple's effective corporate tax rate in Europe was under 1%. 'Take Apple, for example,' said Alexander Arnon, a senior policy analyst with the Penn Wharton Budget Model. 'With iPhone profits rolling in, the company can use strategic accounting to make a large portion of that income vanish from its U.S. tax bill.' Ireland's appeal to American companies dates to its economic struggles in the 80s and 90s. High unemployment and a new wave of emigration prompted the government to adopt aggressive tax policies, which were aided by the country's entry into the European Union. 'Ireland's strategy was clearly designed to draw in foreign businesses,' said Kevin Kent, who chairs the transatlantic practice at law firm Clark Hill. One of the most notable tax strategies used by multinationals was the 'double Irish', which exploited tax differences between jurisdictions by transferring intellectual property between subsidiaries. 'It acted as a release valve for companies in high-tax environments,' explained Adam Michel, a tax policy director at the Cato Institute. 'In a way, U.S. policies were incentivising businesses to relocate their headquarters and investments overseas.' Ireland's economy soared, with GDP per capita growth outpacing that of many other developed nations. However, international pressure eventually led Ireland to overhaul its tax code between 2015 and 2020, effectively shutting down the 'double Irish' loophole. In 2024, the country's headline corporate tax rate rose to 15%. Although, multinational firms still make use of other legal mechanisms, such as capital allowances for intangible assets, to lower their taxable income. Despite the tighter tax environment, there hasn't been a large-scale exodus from the Emerald Isle. American companies still maintain a strong presence in Ireland, mainly due to its highly skilled English-speaking workforce and its strategic position within the EU. However, with a new unpredictable hand at the helm in the White House, Ireland may need to prepare for rougher waters ahead.

Two-state solution conference postponed after Iran attack
A United Nations conference co-hosted by France and Saudi Arabia aimed at forging a roadmap towards a two-state solution between Israelis and Palestinians has been postponed after Israel attacked Iran, two sources said. A Western diplomatic source in Saudi Arabia said that the conference would be postponed partially due to Israel's attacks on Iran. A second source familiar said some delegations from the Middle East would not or could not come due to developments. Earlier, Ireland received a diplomatic cable from the US urging it not to participate in the conference next week. It is understood that the démarche has been sent to all countries attending the conference. However, speaking on RTÉ's News at One, Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Harris said that Ireland will be participating in the conference despite a cable from the US. "Just to be very clear Ireland absolutely will be attending and participating fully in the two-state conference due to take place in the UN and of course the United States of America has every right to convey its views in relation to foreign policy," he said. Mr Harris added: "But we also, by the way, have every right to have our foreign policy and what's happening at the moment in Gaza is genocide. "There are children being left to starve and a two-state solution is further away than it ever has been. "And now is actually the time, not for diplomatic cables, but for leadership, for leadership, to make sure the starving children can get the food, much of which is parked in Jordan and to help bring about an end to the horrific genocidal activity," he said. The Tánaiste added that it is the "very strong view of the Irish people" that end Israel's attacks on Gaza. "It's the very strong view of the Irish Government and we've every right to convey our foreign policy position, and I think the United States is well aware of our position which I must say is now the position of so many countries right across the world, who are just utterly horrified at what they're seeing on their television screens and hearing about." Taoiseach Micheál Martin was due to travel to New York to participate in the meeting before it was postponed. Delegates were to discuss ways of establishing a two-state solution which would create a Palestinian state in Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem alongside Israel. On Tuesday, the US sent a cable claiming that countries recognising a Palestinian state and taking "anti-Israel actions" - such as sanctions and boycotts - would be seen as acting against US interests and could yield diplomatic consequences. "The United States opposes the implied support of the conference for potential actions including boycotts and sanctions on Israel as well as other punitive measures," the cable read. The message also claimed the conference undermined US efforts with Egypt and Qatar to secure a ceasefire in Gaza and free Israeli captives held hostage by Hamas.
