Limerick's mayor requests a share of Apple tax fund to boost local economy and infrastructure.

Limerick's new mayor, John Moran, has asked for €2 billion from the Apple tax fund to be allocated to Limerick, arguing that the €14 billion fund originated from operations in the Munster region. Moran suggests distributing the funds among Cork, Waterford, Galway, and Limerick, to help rebalance Ireland's economy, which he says is overly concentrated in the east. He also seeks investment in Limerick's rail system, suburban transport, and a new hospital site.
