Utter nonsense.

Apple Ireland has more employees than Germany, France, Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden combined.

There are employment quotas for the tax arrangements.

That is completely untrue. There are over six thousand people employed in their Irish HQ.
That is a tiny amount in comparison to their 170.000 person workforce, isn't it?
