Check out our USC http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/money_and_tax/tax/income_tax/universal_social_charge.html

Which is 8% of your gross salary if you earn 100K before they take the other 21/42% PAYE tax. Essentially half your salary goes to tax...

It makes for interesting conversations when my US based co-workers make the occasional gripe about salary or cost of living, my heart bleeds for them.
