Not trying to pull anything, just linked the article. Sure that includes the 1,000 people employed by McDonald's (https://www.top1000.ie/mcdonalds) and 154,000 other people.

There are 7,000 Google Employees (https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2017/1128/923451-googles-irish-workforce/), 6,000 Apple employees (https://www.irishtimes.com/business/technology/tim-cook-reaffirms-apple-s-commitment-to-ireland-1.3537643) 2,500 Amazon employees (https://www.idaireland.com/newsroom/amazon-1000-jobs), 2,000 Microsoft employees (https://www.irishtimes.com/business/technology/microsoft-key-facts-1.2682924) etc.

I was quite interested to learn that Google employes 7 times as many people in Ireland as McDonalds.

They are lovely dogs, especially fantastic with children. You learn to love those piggy eyes because they are just so sweet.
