Those Tyco/Johnson Controls merger talks, complete with the official relocation of the latter’s corporate citizenship to Dublin, have helped pique an interest for Dealbook’s Andrew Ross Sorkin in the ongoing spate of tax inversions and the legislation still needed to “thwart this steady corporate migration” – NYTimes
