Last night.
Dublin city centre.
Activists Charlie Kiehne (19) and Samuel Bosch (18) hung a banner outside a store selling Apple products in protest against Apple’s tax practices.

Everything. As It Happens.
Apple dont have any stores in Dublin. Their only Irish store is in Belfast. Compub isn’t owned or operated by Apple.
Dopes.
Harsh!
They’re still a valid target for protests like this and the distinction matters more for any reporting around it than the protest itself.
Support the protest but don’t believe that’s an Apple shop, just a licensed reseller of their products.
10 multinationals ( which would include groups such as Apple, Pfizer and Intel) pay 10% of the total Irish tax take.

And they should probably be paying significantly more than they are.
Apple (and indeed all companies) should pay their fair share of taxes.
Unfortunately the world isn’t fair and companies use loopholes to minimise their taxation, so yes Apple should probably be paying significantly more than they are.
If corporate taxation was fair, then Ireland would get a less from the likes of Apple (but other countries would get a lot more). Apple shareholders and Ireland would lose out, other countries would gain.
This is it in a nutshell.
…this is NOT good.
“Real IS has since pursued this option and is understood to be in receipt of about €2.1 million in guaranteed annual rental income from the council.”

…wow,just how dysfunctional is the FFG property market,oh we would not touch it,not a chance,not even with OPM-other peoples money.
“Allianz’s Irish insurance arm lobbied against the move on the basis of the potential reputational risk from the negative public commentary around large institutions owning and renting properties here amid a housing crisis, and being cast as a so-called cuckoo or vulture fund.”

Protests Work-FFG’s housing policy does not.

What’s not good about it?
that the agreement entered into binding future generations is a state secret,in my opinion FFG does not have this authority,its one bid and a secret.
…the Dundrum scheme was offered for sale quietly on Glenveagh’s behalf by Davy Corporate Finance with the option for the purchaser of entering into an agreement with Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council on the long-term lease of all 87 apartments for use as social housing…
grab a umbrella.
link 1 or 2 ?
investors hunt in packs,they get succor and comfort from blindly following each other,this is a Kanarienvogel.
-The decision does not impact on Allianz’s many existing investments in the Irish market, including its 50 per cent ownership of the Dundrum Town Centre.-
of course not,what with retail producing so much alpha-DB Fair is a nice new tenant,but its a apocalypse.
