Is this true about Ireland

Watching TV the other night, and this irish bloke was claiming that Ireland is the second largest exporter of software in the world. Is this true? If so what packages are we talking.......checked out our stuff and it's all USA, English, or Aussie.

A lot of the big tech companies have their European bases over there because the 'tax' laws are so favourable.
The big companies probably just use it as a base to ship stuff, si technically it may be!
