Allied Irish Banks: With 9% Dividend, This Bank Could Thrive

Does the Irish government levy a withholding tax of 20% on dividends paid by Irish companies, as do most European countries?

Incidentally, the tax as levied by European companies is levied on U.S. qualified plans as opposed to U.S. tax policy in the U.S.

In my experience, the 20% withholding tax on dividends is a dead loss to my clients.
