I don't know if is the case of Facebook, but in general this is the story of most of tech companies, all are located in Ireland where they pay so much less taxes, and in rest of EU countries all this big companies pay this quantities or in the worse case the government return money.

EU is totally broken, one market with one tax per country; Obviously, all companies go to the country with less taxes. And the different is not 1% or 2% is like 10% or more.

Another reason for Ireland was that there was a very lax view of European Data Protection law there.
