Dividends and bond coupons will be subject to a 30% U.S. federal withholding tax in line with tax regulations of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

Surely also Ireland domiciled products will find their way to the robos.
And with a very cheap online broker and some reading you're not anymore
dependent on robos, you can invest all by yourself.
