1. Regardless of Apple, states should make good + compliant laws. Ireland clearly messed up here.
2. If Ireland would've done a good job, Apple wouldn't be having this problem today. Which probably means Apple will recover the tax payable from Ireland, through damages.
3. There's plenty of tax optimising any business owner can do.
