Why Ireland is No 1

Sir, – Your lead article states Ireland is the number one country in the world for investment, according to Forbes magazine, giving a long list of reasons for this statement (Breaking News, December 5th).

Immediately below this article is “Facebook paid €1.9m in Irish tax on €1.7bn turnover”. I can’t help wondering are these articles in some way connected? – Yours, etc,

ROD LARGE,
