That's the opinion, not of Apple's general counsel in a late night bar conversation in Cupertino last night, but of Michael O'Leary, the notoriously incorrect CEO of discount airline Ryanair Plc (RYAOF) At a press conference Wednesday, O'Leary described the ruling as "bizarre," and said it would never stand in court, according to the Irish Independent. Both the Irish government and Apple have already said they will appeal the ruling. That process is, however, likely to last several years owing to a heavy backlog of cases at the European Court of Justice. "There are certain things Europe has no competence or rights in," said O'Leary. "It's one of the fundamental principles of the EU that each country has the freedom to make its own tax decisions…Frankly the Irish government shouldn't even appeal the decision—they should just write a letter to Europe and tell them to f*** off."
