B738driver your post is very interesting. However, as far as I know, the new law set up by the irish finance earlier this year will now force everybody to pay the irish income taxes, regardless of the type of contract. No matter if you are on an old or new brokfield contract, no matter where you live (except people leaving in the UK) you will have to be taxed in Ireland because you work for an irish company doing international routes (international means outside Ireland). Not only Ryanair crews are concerned, cityjet and air contractors are also concerned. Correct me if I am wrong.
