The political establishment have been left reeling by the size of the award made against Apple. They have launched an all-out propaganda war to try to recover ground. It is a bit like the row in the Dunnes’ family after Ben Dunne jumped out the window, high on cocaine. As the conflict grew, it eventually emerged that he had paid €2 million to Charles Haughey, the former FF Taoiseach. |

I think the problem is;Ireland never made any widgets for apple or had the design concept,so it doesn't warrant that 13 billion(plus interest).
The Eurocrats are using this as a test case in Ireland and do not care about the fallout for the Irish economy.They see Ireland doing well with multinational jobs,and where did you pull that 7% figure from,your ass??The Eurocrats are hoping to hold a test case on our turf because the end game is they see us doing well with multinationals and want a slice of the action, ie they want to commute irish jobs to mainland Europe.....Is it really wise to take this 13 billion(plus interest) when if we DO TAKE IT - it will be divvied up amongst EU states,America and China.....We will be left with crumbs and a BAD reputation that will damage the jobs economy as other businesses will take note...
This is just plain wrong:
..it will be divvied up amongst EU states,America and China...
We would get the money. The EU has not suggested it is due to them. As for America and China, even more bizarre statement
