Not the point I was trying to make though. They could base their Head Office in any country, some with better tax arrangements, but they choose to stay in Ireland.
Could you name on as Ireland is the cheepest place in Europe for them to have there HQ. Remenber most FR employees are on Irish contracts.
Anyone that thinks that open competition will occur following an FR takeover is living in cloud cuckoo land.
Couldn't put it better myself.
