So, if I may ask: if you are based in Spain and live there, the social insurance is paid there, but what about the income tax? Is it paid in Ireland or in Spain?
S.I. is paid in Spain and income tax in Ireland. At the end of the year you'll then pay (or not) any difference in Spain when filing your tax declaration form.

They are (were) supposed to do many things.
Even by their own admission they are unable to fully comply with some local laws due to lack of crew (for example the parental leave in Italy) as reported in the latest ANPAC newsletter.
One of the latest news in Spain is that it now seems they have accepted to pay the salary in any European SEPA account, thus eliminating the stupid requirement of having to open an Irish bank account.
To be fair to everybody, it seems that, in certain fields, things are moving towards the right direction, even if at super hyper slow-pace, at least in Spain.
