We are already trying to poach companies, and have been successfully doing for decades. Do you live under a rock?

Farrage is dead right. Europe is stagnant and dead ffs, the likes of Germany propping up deadwood like the drunken Irish and the Mediterranean basket cases. Enda Kenny has to ask Merkel if he can go to the jacks ffs, like a little boy, and Baldy Noonan has to get the ok from Berlin for his budgets

I just googled this lad. He looks well armed for battle or else his pants donât fit him.
And you donât see the difference between competition before and attempting to poach companies based on Brexit fears and donât think there could be any repercussions for doing so?
Did you not hear me?
Fuck them.
Who said anything about attempting to poach companies based on Brexit fears? Ireland just has to continue doing what it is doing i.e. providing a favorable business environment for corporations who want to do business in Europe. In terms of access to EU markets, of course multinational corporations will favor a country in the EU as opposed to one not in the EU. Thatâs not poaching, itâs common sense.

crisis?
move on to fuck
i thought the world ended on june 24?
From my understanding, no matter what course the Brits take theyâll have to negotiate with the EU as a whole rather than giving us an individual deal, good or bad.
Yep, one of the reasons I voted against Lisbon.
has the world ended yet?
a huge border fence is been built as we type something like the wall outside Bethlehem that will stretch from Carlingford Lough to Lough Swilly
all trade between Northern Ireland and the Republic has ceased due to âuncertaintyâ
Paddyâs milk is been dumped into the Severn and his cattle are been driven off the cliffs of Dover, meanwhile militant English trawlers have taken control of the Irish sea
Iâm on the phone Mick whatâs the Ftse 250 and 500s doing today thank God the pension is recovering a great few days to make an AVC
The fat angry tourists and lack of space and lack of Air con last time I went through it. Nowhere to even sit down. Took two hours to clear the two security queues. It was bedlam. Alone Iâd not have minded but with two young ones it was awful.
Forbes predicted the financial crisis perfectly. Well done to Forbes. They know everything.

How do you know where an independent Scotland would rank?
It has better infrastructure than Ireland (I have lived in both Glasgow and Edinburgh, a long history of international banking. A better controlled property market, and if it had zero corporate tax, forbes would have it at number one.
Forbes exists to try and make the rich richer, that is all.

The only probability is Scotland out the UK door if article 50 is invoked. Otherwise itâs all in the air.
But thatâs what fear politics and whataboutery is all about, it sure as hell sold enough newspapers here over he weekend and had the permanently outraged gang on twitter convinced that the Brexit was âawfulâ apparantly for Paddy
i see our resident âcelebrity economistâ will be publishing the hipster doom and gloom version in the the indo tomorro, this is where the cool kids will get their little chortling stats for their weekend bullshit parties
Scotland isnât an independent country mate, and when they had the chance they shit their pants at the prospect. Corporations tend to favor stable countries with a track record in international business, not ones that change their mind depending on which way the wind is blowing. Forbes would in their holes rank Scotland above Ireland or at #1, based on what ffs? The UK is ranked #10 ,why the fuck would Scotland be ranked higher? Because Edinburgh has a few nice buildings? The roads are good? If that was the deciding factor all the multinationals on the island of Ireland would be in NI where the infrastructure is better.
The Forbes ranking is based on a broad range of factors, taxation is only one of them. Ireland ranks near the top because it excels at all the factors that matter to multinationals. Scotland isnât on the list because it isnât even a country, and to think it would jump to #1 if it became one is simply delusional.
