What’s funny to me is Ireland wasn’t trying to collect these taxes, the European Commission decided that the Irish taxes were too low and amounted to an illegal subsidy.
i heard recently in a podcast apparently ireland doesnt want this money for some reason i think as it would be a disincentive for other companies setting up there
Yeah, same situation when the Irish DPA refuses to fine Facebook for violating the GDPR so the EU has to step in and force them to fine Facebook and thus collect all the money.

Ireland systematically trying to make the EU a race to the bottom is hilarious /s
“Okay, I guess I’ll take it”
Ireland, probably
They’ll probably try not to take the tax money, again.
