I'm going to take this with a grain of salt ... given the EU's hatred of Ireland's efforts to be competitive and lower taxes, this may or may not be a smear job.

My thoughts exactly. The Irish are bucking the EU socialists via tax reform. This smells of an opening salvo of a PR campaign to punish them for their failure to kowtow to the socialist line.

I thought the angle of the attack interesting. The left usually uses racism, antisemitism, homophobia,sexism, environmental degradation and poverty when they trash someone or something. Corruption is a new one to me.
