My post was laced with sarcasm.
I agree with your analysis and have already posted to that effect.
Aside from a referendum, IIRC Ireland benefits greatly from much lower corporation tax levels than the rest of the EU and somehow I can't see them being prepared to sacrifice those with the adverse effects so doing would have on their economy.
I really don't know what's driving current EU decision making but it doesn't seem to be common sense. Political tunnel vision, desperation, blind panic maybe? Let's hope not eh....
