IIRC, they will pay the bill in the form that they will collect Apple's money to help pay part of the national debt.

Ireland will probably not see a penny from it.

Got a source from Bloomberg[1]:

    The government maintains that even if it were to take the
    cash, European rules mean it would have to use the money
    to pay down some of its 180 billion euros of national debt 
    rather than fund spending.
