Quite a few companies (insurers) have been re domesticating their holding companies from Bermuda to Ireland in the past couple of years due to taxes (Ireland has an income tax treaty with U.S., Bermuda does not).

One redomesticated to Switzerland.

I would think Ireland is now off the table (language has also been a factor).

Also many companies have set up Irish subsidiaries and then entered into cross licensing agreements to try and avoid U.S. taxes (I think Google saves quite a bit on this).

If they raise rates it will stop new investment.
