Yahoo are claiming that they started planning a move to Eire before
anyone had heard of Snowden:

<http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/03/21/yahoo_exodus_snooping_concerns/>

"Yahoo! pointed us towards a press release from March 2013 about its plans
to hire 200 new people in its Dublin operations centre in arguing that it
was simply following a long-standing business plan that was in motion long
before the Edward Snowden revelations began last June."

"In that case," said Napoleon, "let us wait twenty minutes; when the enemy
is making a false movement we must take good care not to interrupt him."
