The European Union's (EU) Court of Justice ruling on Apple saw government revenue rise to €46.4bn between July and September, which was €17.6bn higher than in the same period in 2023. 

New figures released by the Central Statistics Office (CSO) on Tuesday show that the significant increase was helped by a large one-off transfer of more than €14bn to the Irish exchequer arising from the Apple tax verdict in September last year.
