DUBLIN, IRELAND
Dublin has seen almost legendary economic growth in the last 15 years, which tied-in with an explosion of multiculturalism, has certainly boosted the confidence of the city.
Dublin International Airport is about 12km north from the city's Georgian commercial city centre, and is well serviced by buses and taxis. Many major companies have offices in Dublin, including Google, Microsoft and Amazon, attracted perhaps by one of the lowest corporate tax rates in Europe (fixed at 12.5 per cent until 2025) and an English-speaking population. Dublin has been voted one of the world's best cities to live in. This is a fun-loving city, where 9800 pints of beer are drunk each hour by Dubliners from Friday night to Monday morning -- making it quite a party town too.
When delving into corporate culture in Ireland don't be deceived by the easy going and charming attitudes of the Irish. In negotiations, the Irish are astute and tenacious, but are also genuinely interested in listening to others and are naturally courteous.
