It would be unfair if the term was fair to begin with, but it wasn't, according to that court.

What would be interesting is to see Apple revealing the cost of its lobbying, to claim a claw back. It won't.

It turned out great for Ireland yes, it is odd the court didn't fine that country for offering illegal tax terms.



I think that the court ruled that it was unfair to other countries, not to Ireland. Ireland gained from the deal, didn't lose anything.


No, it's unfair to other _companies_. The issue like I said was that Apple was taxed ~1%, when others were taxed ~12%, which impact fair competition.


True. In any case, not unfair to Ireland.
