DUBLIN: Ireland's cabinet agreed on Sept 2 to join Apple in appealing against a multi-billion-euro back tax demand that the European Commission has slapped on the iPhone maker, despite misgivings among independents who back the fragile coalition. 

A government spokesman said that following the cabinet's decision, it would ask parliament to endorse the legal challenge on Sept 7 next week.
