People Before Profit proposes using €14.1 billion from Apple taxes to tackle Ireland's housing crisis.

People Before Profit, an Irish political party, has proposed using €14.1 billion in back taxes from Apple to create a state construction company aimed at addressing Ireland's housing crisis. The party argues this entity could build social and affordable homes more cost-effectively than the private sector, potentially saving €200,000 per home. Finance Minister Jack Chambers supports investing the funds in infrastructure but emphasizes they shouldn't be used for everyday spending or tax cuts.
