EU President Insists Ireland Must Abide By Apple Tax Ruling
Jean-Claude Juncker has warned Ireland must obey the Apple tax ruling.
He says the tech giant's €13 billion bill in back taxes is based on 'fact' and has to be repaid.
Speaking at the G20 summit of world leaders he added that the ruling wasn't 'a decision against the US'.
Apple boss Tim Cook called the bill 'political crap' last week and suggested the European Commission was using Ireland to penalise America.
The Dáil will be recalled on Wednesday to approve an appeal that was given the go-ahead, on the condition that we examine tax deals for all multinationals here within six months.
Mr Junker says corporate tax across Europe must be implemented fairly:
