Ireland will dedicate the nearly €14 billion ($15.6 billion) tax bill it’s receiving from a recent Apple Inc. court ruling for housing, energy and water infrastructure, Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris said.
Harris said that he will use his upcoming budget plan to outline his plans for the unexpected windfall, which is the equivalent of 14% of government spending this year, or some €2,700 for every man, woman and child.
