We went to see Apple's European HQ in Ireland - here's what we found
Twitter/Tim Cook
The Cupertino, California, company currently employs 5,500 people in Cork, where its European headquarters are based - and Apple CEO Tim Cook has plans to hire an additional 1,000 people in the region by mid-2017.
But relatively little is known about what Apple does in this small city on the south east coast of Ireland, population 120,000.
The company's main campus is situated in a suburban area of Cork called Hollyhill, while it also has another discrete, yet large, office in the heart of the city.
Business Insider visited these sites - as well as a site for a proposed €850 million (£669 million) Apple data centre on Ireland's west coast - to see what we could find out. Apple did not allow us to enter any of its buildings.
