Emeritus Prof Christopher May on Nostr: Ireland was already sitting on £8bn budget surplus partly driven from its tax ...
Ireland was already sitting on £8bn budget surplus partly driven from its tax receipts as a tax haven for global corporations.... now it has been forced by the European Curt of Justice to accept another £13bn of back tax from Amazon.
This is the problem Keir Starmer so wishes he had.
The Q. is what will the Irish Govt. now do with this surplus?
(as they used to say when I was a child):
