LEO: NO €13BN TAX WINDFALL FROM APPLE...
  • 70k How many homes Mr Murphy said could be built with the money

LEO Varadkar has dashed taxpayer hopes of reaping a €13billion tax bonanza from Apple.

The Taoiseach said those claiming we are owed a massive windfall in unpaid duties from the multinational have "misrepresented" the issue.

In the Dail, left TDs, including PBP/Solidarity's Paul Murphy and Mick Barry, called on the Government to collect and spend it.
