During the OECD/G20 BEPS process the Kenny coalition defended Ireland's 12.5% headline corporate rate while aligning domestic legislation with the new international standards: phasing out the "Double Irish" residency loophole in Finance Act 2014, introducing country-by-country reporting, and adopting the Knowledge Development Box at 6.25% under Finance Act 2015. The package preserved Ireland's competitive tax brand while reducing exposure to BEPS- related sanctions.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
