which is even more confusing, as the govt is being rewarded for violating treaties by being paid back all the tax. Was the govt not more in the wrong than Apple was? (sorry, thread hijack)

It's not a reward for the government, hence why they have lodged an appeal. Ireland has a lot more to lose by accepting that tax money than they would gain.

And presumably all the other states will want a share of those profits transferred to Ireland to avoid tax.
