One of the key arguments made by the Government is that none of this money is really owed to Ireland anyway and that by the time other European countries get their hands on their share and profits are repatriated to the US, there will be nothing left. Is it Ms Vestager's opinion that the large majority of the €13 billion, plus interest, would be owed to the Irish State rather than to other countries?
