If you’ve ever wondered why Ireland’s economic stats look so weird, you need to watch this. It explains the '€241 Billion Trap'—how multinational profits (like Apple and Google) inflate the country's wealth while the actual cost of living sky-rockets.

It’s a fascinating look at the 'Double Irish' tax era and the record-high homelessness that has followed the corporate boom. For those interested in international tax law and GDP distortions, this video on Ireland’s current economic state is a must-watch. It provides a very clear breakdown of 'Modified GNI' vs. GDP and explains why 40% of Ireland’s corporate tax revenue comes from just three companies.

Check it out and let me know if you think Ireland can survive without its tax-haven status!
