The question was one of statutory interpretation. Below is relevant provision, quoted in Irish Supreme Court’s opinion. The petitioner argued that law’s plain terms excluded as “bread” only food which exceeded limitations for “each” of several ingredients. https://t.co/JtYDqHbvqA https://t.co/faxTNdfnw9 — PolitiTweet.org

.@SUBWAY go Brách! Supreme Court of #Ireland rules that the bread in Subway sandwiches has too much sugar to qualify as "bread" within the meaning of the Value-Added Tax Act 1972 (which means it can't get the staple-food VAT rate of zero). https://t.co/psm3iAULWL — PolitiTweet.org

The court rejected the argument. Conceding that the provision of the VAT law was not a model of clarity, the court held nonetheless that the common sense interpretation of it, in context, meant that exceeding any one limit—here, >2% sugar content—excluded a food as “bread.” https://t.co/xmq7pdKsnQ — PolitiTweet.org
