Ireland is not Brexit. Plus, they have a low tax rate. Plus, plus, the Irish are wonderful people and the women are the most beautiful on Earth.
...as Britain barrels toward an exit from the European Union as early as 2019, Canadian banks are exploring their options and crafting backup plans that could peg major cities such as Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Paris as hubs for EU business. Several globally influential lenders – such as Bank of America Corp., which chose Dublin as its new European hub – are already promising to bulk up in cities where they have established operations. In doing so, they aim to take advantage of familiarity with local regulatory regimes and sometimes favourable tax rules.
I think Dublin has several advantages over Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Paris. One is the English language. Another is that it is geographically closer to North America. Unlike the U.K. and continental Europe there is minimal or no risk of terrorism. (Don't believe that bullshit about the defunct IRA.) Of course, last but not least a corporate friendly tax rate.
