Ireland's government on Tuesday outlined how it intends to deploy more than $14 billion in back taxes from Apple.

Ireland plans to invest the 14 billion euros ($15.5 billion) that Apple has been ordered to pay in back taxes into housing, energy, water and transport infrastructure, Finance Minister Jack Chambers told parliament on Tuesday.

Ireland on Tuesday unveiled a 2025 budget that includes tax cuts and increased social benefits, and announced a huge surplus in 2024 thanks to billions of euros in Apple back-taxes. The state's 2024 finances have been boosted by 14 billion euros in back-taxes from Apple,

More billions are on the way from the tech giant as the Irish hoover up multinational taxes at a breakneck pace — but struggle to build what this booming nation needs.

Ireland will hand voters billions of euros of tax cuts and spending increases and outline plans to use a whopping Apple back tax windfall to improve the country's creaking infrastructure in Tuesday's bumper pre-election budget.

The European Court of Justice’s (ECJ) ruling last month that Apple pay billions of euros of back taxes and interest to the Republic has “provided the State with one-off revenue that has the capacity to be transformational”, Mr Chambers said in the Dáil as he unveiled Budget 2025.

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.
