    What’s funny to me is Ireland wasn’t trying to collect these taxes, the European Commission decided that the Irish taxes were too low and amounted to an illegal subsidy.

      Yeah, same situation when the Irish DPA refuses to fine Facebook for violating the GDPR so the EU has to step in and force them to fine Facebook and thus collect all the money.
