Ireland was one of the signatories to Yellands global minimum Corp tax of 15%.

Yeah being at 15% sucks compared to where other european companies sit, but the race to the bottom got cut off. it's a win

Yes but these companies don't pay that 15%. They all get special deals paying pretty much nothing. That's what that ongoing lawsuit is about by the EU against Apple. They're still trying to get almost 14 billion euro paid.
everywhere else in the EU also signed it, and the corporate tax rate wasn't even the lowest in the EU already. (Bulgaria was lower, and another eurozone country was tied)
