EU is too expensive birocracy, have you see their wages? 10-20k € for crying it loud.
Please vote OUT tomorow just to see what happens
I know, did you see the price of that bugatti pen from harrods in the other thread!
You're missing my point. Ireland is an attractive proposition for tech companies. It'll become more enticing if the UK leaves the EU.
The UK managed to attract Google. The next Google might choose Ireland over an isolated UK though.

"Salary
Basic monthly Commission salaries range from around €2,300 per month for a newly recruited AST/SC 1 official to around €16,000 per month for a top level AD 16 official with over 4 years of seniority.
Each grade is broken up into five seniority steps with corresponding salary increases. Basic salaries are adjusted annually in line with inflation and purchasing power in the EU countries. The complete salary table is available in the Staff Regulations (Article 66).

Isnt that because of Ireland's low corporation tax?

Isolated? In what sense?

It's a combination of its low corporation tax, native English speaking and access to the single market.
We currently have all 3 of those too, hence making us an attractive place to base operations...

The EU are streets ahead of the British government on most things environmental.
What a surprise, you didn't actually read that article did you?
Someone else earlier quoted the same thing, that 10,000 workers in the EU earn more than £142,000....
I suggest you actually read the link you posted (hint : past the headline) because surprise, surprise, that's not what the facts actually say.
They get paid less gross than the PM, but due to lower tax rates, other benefits for re-location etc, they have a take home pay slightly more.
Imagine being on this payroll...............

Daily allowance. In addition, MEPs will receive daily allowances for each day they sign in in the Parliaments` buildings in Brussels or Strasbourg. The daily allowance is € 304 per day. It is meant to cover rent and extra household but is also paid to members e.g. living in and elected in Brussels.
A MEP can sign in 10 pm in the evening and 7 am in the morning and receive 2 days' daily allowance without having taken part in any meeting or other relevant parliamentary activity.
However, on days when plenary votes are held, if MEPs miss more than half the roll-call votes this allowance is reduced by half. For meetings outside the EU, the allowance is € 152 with hotel and breakfast bills refunded separately.
Assistants. MEPs can hire staff to assist them in their job for an amount of € 19,709 per month (2011 figures).
Now that's a job.
The EU is a scam!

Isolated as in not a member of the EU.
A new low for the Remain scaremongering.
That only 6 episodes left to complete the whole saga next year (before UK even leaves the EU), is lost to them.

Whoop-e-do, it's such a non-story it's embarrassing you guys mis-represent it because you don't even know what you are posting
Read the next link I posted.
Let's just ask Farage how he's liked his nose in the trough all these years
Have I ever stated I support UKIP or Farage ? NO!
But he also said he would quiet gladly give up his job as an MEP.
So its moot point really.
Read the next link I posted.
I did, it was just as emotive rubbish.
Have a look at the HoL daily benefits and expenses...
OMG It's a SCAM!!11!!
I thought you keep saying you know how the world works, and it's all just money....so why any of this is a surprise to you is beyond me.....its just the way the world is, right?
Doesn't matter if it's the EU, the HoL, the US senate or the Govt of Iraq, they all live very well off the expenses of their countries.
He also said he would step down as leader of UKIP....so I wouldn't believe much that comes out of his mouth
