I believe the general principle is that if you are ordinarily domiciled in Ireland or UK (
i.e. your primary home is in one of those countries) and you spend more than a certain number of days (
90 days wrt UK tax rules) residing in the country of your primary home, then you're liable to pay income tax on your earnings (
be they earned in the country or overseas).... there's a bit more to it than that, but that's the gist of it.
So, on this contract, if you're commuting back & forth to Ireland / UK one would suspect that you're likely to get clobbered by some income tax... which would therein make it a somewhat questionable contract to begin with, wherein (
i.e. after tax) your net take-home would be in the region of
$8,500 USD.
