Any Irish pilots in Wizzair? (Contract query)

Hello all,

I've passed the assessments for and will soon be joining Wizzair's 'Rapid Command' Program.

They've asked me to choose between either a local (Romanian in my case as per my assigned base) contract or a Confair contract.
Would anyone from the Emerald Isle be able to advise as to which one might be best? Their Info sheet says;

Romanian Contract; "...16.5% of your gross salary will be deducted towards Social and Health contributions....income tax will be 16%"

Confair Contract: "...social and health contributions are the responsibility of the individual..........Swiss tax would be deducted according to the reported tax bracket and based on the agreement between the tax residence country [Ireland for me] and Switzerland"

I'm unmarried with no children. I'll have to try to contact the Swiss and Irish authorities, presumably, for more info. But if anyone might have some ideas on the subject beforehand it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
