Recently released figures show that Google paid €28.6m in Irish corporation tax on international sales of €18.3bn last year, up from €27.7m last year. The internet services giant has its Europe, Middle East and Africa headquarters in Dublin’s Docklands.

The latest figures for Google Ireland Ltd show increase in turnover of nearly 8% last year to €18.3bn; driven by advertising revenues, generated by Google websites and Google Network Members’ websites.

Google Ireland chief Ronan Harris said “We continued to invest in Ireland during 2014 and this investment continues in 2015 with the construction of a second €150m data centre in west Dublin. This further strengthens Google’s commitment to Ireland and ensures we can meet our future growth requirements in the Dublin Docklands area.”
