Honestly, how much of that is ireland actually getting, and will the government do anything worthwhile with it?

That’s 38,690 and a bit bike sheds for anyone wondering

I don’t like being used a a pawn by the EU so other member states get their slice of the pie. They didn’t spend 8 years at this to help us.

We could get 38,690 more bike shelters for that

Who would own the interest that €13bn in escrow has accumulated over the years? That must be a tidy penny.

Bike Sheds for everyone!

Bike sheds for some.

So we’re a tax haven

We can finally get the outdoor white water rafting centre and the bertie bowl
shweeney on
the story suggests the case could rumble on for longer – by the time it eventually completes €13b will be chump change. It already doesn’t look like the unfathomably large figure it did 8 years ago due to our inflated budget surpluses. HSE would probably spend it in 6 months with no noticeable benefits.

The unionists argument that the south couldn’t afford the north is now gone…

That’s like 5 unfinished children’s hospitals.

Please please please sink this into infrastructure and state pension fund.
Or give everyone a year off from paying income tax.

We are rich might be able to afford the plans for another children’s hospital or maybe two new bike sheds

Maybe they’ll build some houses with it.

Well that’s massively worrying.

An apple a day keeps anyone away, if you throw it hard enough!

BAM are rubbing their hands now! Oh sorry guys the new estimated cost of that children’s hospital, yeah you know that one you should have built on a green field site which would have saved millions, yep that one. We think 5 billion should be enough now…. wait maybe not

Possible the best result for Apple after the initial review.
The the lower court judgment was set aside they can reapeal it in the lower court with the knowledge that the lower court judgment has some merit

Think how many bike shelters we can get with that… at LEAST 8…

That’s equivalent to one free Oasis gig.

That’s nearly enough for another Children’s Hospital!

Tis good money but it’s not a revolutionary amount when it comes to the running of the country.

Now if they were smart…but we all know they’re not, they use it to build some fecking housing!

Does the Irish government have any spending plans for this or will it form part of the rainy day fund that corporation tax revenue is ring fenced for?

Never mind Apple it calls the competency of revenue into question.
Terrible day for Ireland.

I really wish they’d put it into Garda training and wages.
That’s €2166 each for a population of 6 million. I’m going to spend mine on 300 cups of coffee.

I literally had an argument with my dad about how big businesses are playing the system to dodge taxes, who’s wrong now?
PeaceLoveCurrySauce on
If we don’t get to keep the whole amount then it’s a disgrace, it’s our tax laws that have earned us this money nobody else

That 13b will pay for the metro and help the 14 thousand homeless of the streets and get them a nice flat each.

Give it to every taxpayer in the country.

You know what would be really funny and original – a good joke about bike sheds.

Tarmac every garden in nation. If every citizen has a patch of land with beautiful fresh clean tarmac then the possibilities are endless. The nation might finally realise its most essential dreams.
