New Limerick mayor sought Apple tax funds to be spent in Munster
Mayor of Limerick John Moran said the move would help rebalance the country’s economy which was “dangerously concentrated in the east.”
The new directly-elected mayor of Limerick asked Taoiseach Simon Harris that €2bn of the Apple tax fund be given directly to the city and county.
In a personal plea to Mr Harris, Mayor John Moran said that because the €14bn windfall had come from industrial operations in Munster, over half the money should go to the region.
