Great comment. We can and should criticize the actions of the Irish government, and the German, Hungarian, Polish ones, etc. But boycotting Ireland is too far of a stretch.
There is a good point related to what OP is writing: Beware of “European” sidekicks of US companies. Many subsidiaries are a good European-washing examples, though might still be better than full-US companies when no alternative is available. But labeling the whole country of Ireland as a sidekick is too much.
Russia accounted for 39% of allegations
We have 999 problems and migrants ain't one
Yeah, that's true. But their production seems to be almost fully for their internal market. Which shows how crazy the scale of the green energy transition within China.
China accounted for 65% of global wind capacity in 2023
So basically, China also installed twice as much wind power as the rest of the world in 2023
It's similar with solar, but there China has a bit lower percentage of the demand, and more of manufacturing. -> It is a major exporter. See, e.g., https://www.iea.org/data-and-statistics/charts/solar-pv-manufacturing-capacity-and-production-by-country-and-region-2021-2027

The headline is about China. But their second figure shows the situation outside of China:
Overall, the top five western OEMs represented 93% of the global volumes outside of China.
Out of these, only Genereal Electrics is Amercian. Vestas, Siemens Gamesa, Nordex, and Enercon are all EU-based.
This post suggests that the role of General Electrics decreased in 2024: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/wl-106-top-10-wind-turbine-manufacturers-2024-windletter-66wuf/

Great search, thank you!
When you make a CitizenWatch article into a meme (congrats OP):

Smart! I use Joplin and Koofr for shorter notes. Switching to LibreOffice Writer from Word, and shared files, for longer texts. But all depends on how you like to write ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I think the difference is that, while both Russia and Germany are federations on paper, Germany is much less centralized.
Still, not fun with the 3.5%/5%. Overshooting, typical for "weapons as war repellent" strategy (and unfortunately, expanded military often does not want to stay idle...)
I got to know about this only from this article (I send Wikipedia's take on the info, since it is more accurate):
She represents so well many far-right voters who simply vote against themselves, thinking that they are “special” and even if they do the same things they despise, they will be spared from the prosecution.
