This podcast episode dives deep into the complexities of the Apple tax ruling and its broader implications for Ireland's economic model. We explore how Ireland's low corporate tax strategy, which began in the mid-20th century to attract foreign capital, evolved into a cornerstone of its economic growth. The discussion touches on Ireland's historical emigration issues, the soft power of the Irish diaspora, and the country's role as a bridge between American corporations and the European market. We also unpack how Apple’s tax dealings with Ireland resulted in a €13 billion windfall, the legal challenges involved, and the potential reputational risks for both Ireland and multinational companies. With a focus on Ireland’s current housing and infrastructure crises, the episode argues that now is the time for bold political decisions—especially how best to spend the Apple windfall to address urgent public needs. Get ready for a mix of economic history, policy analysis, and insights into what lies ahead for Ireland.
