Picture this: Ireland just scored a massive windfall from tech giant Apple - $14.4 billion! The money comes after a recent court ruling, and the government has big plans for it. They're not splashing cash around; instead, they want to tackle some real challenges. Housing, transport, energy, and water systems are all on the list.

    Finance Minister Jack Chambers is clear: this cash isn't for everyday expenses or tax breaks. It's about building a sustainable future. So, what's on the agenda? New homes, better infrastructure, and more green energy. Irish Water will get $1.11 billion to upgrade its services, including new housing connections and dealing with urban wastewater. The Land Development Agency isn't left out either; they'll receive $1.38 billion for thousands of new homes.

    But that's not all. The electric grid is also a priority, with $829.56 million earmarked for upgrades. This aims to create a secure and sustainable energy source. It encourages industrial investment, supports the digital economy, and reduces carbon emissions. Chambers wants this Apple tax money to support Ireland's future economic development, benefiting everyone. With this new cash influx, Ireland is set to make big moves in infrastructure and growth.
