Surely it's a simple as [of course it never is] Ireland has a Corporation tax rate and it should be the same for every company operating out of there. Ireland can [and do] set their own corporation tax rates.

The EU are there to enforce it, both because they want to ensure competition is fairer between EU states, and also because as a whole they have a lot more power than maybe Ireland does on it's own. Even if Apple paid the going rate in Ireland, it would still be lower than most of the EU, which is why they based themselves there in the first place.
