that apple must pay ireland more than $14 billion in back taxes. the impact of the decision clearly extends far beyond the interest of a single company or a single country. mark: sinn fein has come out and said, don't appeal. accept the money. why don't you just accept the money and shut up? 13 billion euros plus interest. that's a lot of money. >> because as minister for finance, i have a responsibility for advising the government on these matters. this is the government that rescued irish -- ireland from the verge of bankruptcy from 2011 on, and foreign direct investment and the creation of high level jobs is fundamental to our economic policies. we stand by our economic policies and we're going to protect our economic policies. we're not going to get into a situation of short-term gain for long-term damage to the economy. >> what have we heard from other tech companies? >> this is as we have yesterday that heard yesterday, i think some analysts, people were saying it's on the scale of one to 10, 10 being extremely damaging, the lower end about 2 to 3. the thing is ireland has 140

apple to pay a record tax bill. how is ireland responding? how has apple responded? >> there is massive shock here today. reports were saying the arrears could be as low as 100 million euros, yesterday afternoon, the sentiment has changed. figures might be in the billions, but i do not think anybody was prepared for a figure of over 13 billion euros, so it was a huge shock here. it sparked an intense debate about what they should do next. it is not clear that apple is not very happy, pointed out that corporate environments have paid its taxes and everything right, and it is not fair that it should be treated this way. there has been an angry response from ireland and apple back to the commission. mark: there is disappointment from both parties as well as the u.s. treasury. why did you feel the need to act unilaterally when the oecd has made so much progress over the last three years? margrethe: the case here is specific because we have a long-standing prohibition of member states handing out benefits or advantages to specific companies. this is the case here, more than it is the

that, as well as ireland. so, i asked margaret vest jaiga about this argument. when you said at one point pay 0.0005%, a number that tim cook has called political crap. what is your view of that? >> well, i've never seen math categorized like that, because we are obliged, of course, to do our case work-based on the facts of the case, not only because it can be appealed and go to court, but also because we have to do a good job. we have to make sure that we get it right and do the right thing. >> but isn't the heart of the matter really, especially when it comes to apple and these technology companies, the intellectual property of their sales, of iphones and other products, happens all in the united states. it is produced in the united states. so, why should the irish government claim the income tax on it? >> well, this is for apple. because we don't question where they book their profits. what we see is that they book a huge portion of their profits in ireland, not in the states. with the apple inc. of the u.s., they have this cost-sharing agreement where they pay every year, some y

didn't work out in a very messy way. his second try was ireland. do you remember when he was going to go to ireland? in june the trump campaign put out this statement saying they were going to be going to ireland. that was an interesting choice because there had been lots of robust and untidy irish protests over the years against previous american visitors who were not nearly as controversial as donald trump. so it raised eyebrows that he was going to brave what would certainly be an unwarm welcome from the people of ireland. to underscore those stakes, the irish prime minister announced publicly if donald trump did really decide to go to ireland, the prime minister would hope to meet him in person on that visit, but only so he could tell donald trump to his face how racist and dangerous he thinks he is. so after initially announcing that donald trump would be going to ireland, donald trump decided not to go to ireland. they never announced that he wouldn't be going, they just removed that trip from his itinerary. he did, however, take that same trip, just minus ireland. he did go

famine. the population of ireland went from 9 million to 3 million. a lot came to the u.s., to canada, to australia, new zealand, england-- those would've been mainly where the irish went. remember, in those days, when people left home, they didn't see their parents again, that was it. keep in mind that the people coming here didn't speak english. they were from the poorest parts of ireland. and it was tough. irish catholics, especially, they weren't very welcome. they were considered a lower class. what they did have, in spite of that poverty, they did have their culture, they had this amazingly rich repository of instrumental music, of song, of storytelling, in the irish language, of dancing. having socialization with neighbors, hearing the music-- that made up for that loss. that's what they shared together. that's what they passed on to their children. house sessions are a major component of traditional irish music. it's where people would congregate in ireland and even in my own house when i was growing up, both of my parents were from ireland. we had an irish session almo
