The Department of Finance is responsible for the policy side and the Revenue Commissioners are responsible for the tax side. The Department of Finance has retained counsel to represent it and to advise it; it is awaiting the adjudication of the European Commission now on the Apple case. The Department has made it clear that if the European Commission find against Apple it will contest it in the courts. The case could be before the courts for three years before there is a final result, with all the attendant legal expenses that entails.
