All this says is the money will be placed in an escrow account while Apple and Ireland both appeal the decision, which they both seem confident to prevail eventually. They haven't conceded anything yet. The ball is still in play. [edit] I'm not advocating for either Apple or Ireland, just making a factual comment. I think corporations should pay a fair tax.
