I didn’t claim that it was not legal in Ireland, as that’s not the point. Google (and others like Apple) are multi-national companies which means they might not be following the letter, let alone the intent, of the law in other jurisdictions in which they do business by using this loophole. It’s definitively a legal grey area and everyone skilled in international tax law I’ve read on the topic agree. So saying it’s flat out legal everywhere is glossing over important considerations, and at best comes off naive.
