DUBLIN: Ireland’s fragile minority government meets for crunch talks to resolve a stalemate on Sept 2 after an EU ruling on Apple that has divided the country and undermined a cornerstone of its economic policy.
Ireland needs to decide whether to appeal the ruling to take €13bil (RM59.48bil) in taxes from the US tech giant, with growing public pressure to use the money to ease the pain of years of austerity.
