"I think you’ll find that most governments have decided"

In a democracy, which Ireland is, it comes down to the people deciding this. The Irish government (and ultimately the people) decided that they didn't want this money.

"The only question here is whether or not Ireland was following the rules over how much they decided that Apple owed them."

Again, they are a democracy. And it's their rules. And they were perfectly happy NOT taking the money.
