Fears as EU brands Apple's tax deal with Ireland 'illegal'
The ruling from the European Commission which is to be made public in the coming days.
The EU has branded Apple's tax deal with Ireland 'illegal'.
The ruling from the European Commission which is to be made public in the coming days is expected to put pressure on the Revenue Commissioners here to pursue Apple for back taxes.
However the Irish Times says the money would be held in an escrow bank account while appeals are made by both the Irish Government and Apple.
The European Commission considers the tax deal illegal state aid.
It follows the granting of planning permission for an extension at the Global Giant's European headquarters in Hollyhill which it's expected will increase the workforce to 6,000.
Fianna Fáil TD Dara Calleary says there's no special deal with Apple:
