Denis Staunton

Good evening, listeners!

On this week’s episode, host Richard Aldous is joined by Denis Staunton, London Editor at the Irish Times, to discuss the fallout from the European Commission’s decision last week that Ireland had breached competition law in its tax arrangements with Apple. He takes us through what happened and why both Ireland and Apple are appealing the decision, then looks ahead to what happens next. He also places this conflict in the broader context of European politics.
