Should Munster get half of the Apple tax cash because the money was made in the region?

Limerick mayor John Moran asked Taoiseach Simon Harris to give over half of the €14 billion Apple tax fund to Munster.

WHAT TO DO with the €14 billion Apple tax money has been the source of much discussion since the tech company lost its fight in the European Court of Justice in September.

Should we use it on housing? Public transport projects? A renewable energy fund? Should we just give half of it to Munster?

In a personal plea to Simon Harris, Limerick mayor John Moran asked that over half of the €14 billion Apple tax fund be given to Munster because the windfall had come from the industrial operations in the region. 

In a lengthy letter and submission, Moran said this would help rebalance the country’s economy which was “dangerously concentrated in the east.”

So today we’re asking: Should Munster get half of the Apple tax cash because the money was made in the region?

    @John Kenny: They all count. If Ireland scored a 92nd minute goal and it went in off Evan Ferguson’s left nut you’d be hopping around the place celebrating so stop talking ballcocks.

    I’m sure even the most hardcore Liverpool supporter was delighted when Bruno got the winner. Rangers horrible club with horrible supporters and once again caused mayhem in Manchester.

    @Anthony Curran: There was a gombeen on the 42 stating that Liverpool fans turned into Rangers fans when Gerrard moved up there haha You are correct, I imagine all Irish fans wanted Rangers to lose. If we wanted to laugh at Utd (and we do) we could say that Utd have finally found their level.

    @paulie: I had no interest in Rangers reports. I don’t know any Irish people or Liverpool fans who cared. In fact calling them “Steven Gerrard’s Rangers” was cringe. But you’re off in your own imaginary world. Again.
