Ireland made a beneficial deal with NorthAmericans we funded plant & equipment for many new expansions of business they lowered corporate and property taxes they provided workers we funded many college technical programs a win-win situation this was the arrangement, and my old Digital Equip Corp was typical while I was at DEC from 1980 to 1993, I had clients in Ireland Galway and Clonmel almost had a trip there too, but my sleazy manager took the trip Irish people were very grateful for the cooperation they really lifted themselves up many engineers, software professionals emerged in the 1990's, Ireland had the fastest growing European economy but I never heard of any free education many paid-for college and Masters program students though all was good until the tech bust, now jobs are disappearing and they are left with a real estate bubble esp in Dublin, where property has risen 300% since mid-1980's / jim
