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.

However, Mr Varadkar, who was speaking in the Dail while the European Court of Justice was hearing an appeal of the case in Luxembourg, said the cash is not due to us because there was no mistake by past Irish governments in undertaxing Apple.
