How big a mess is the Irish tax system?

A big one.

A nice exposition of the income tax data over here:

It is also true, as mentioned, that public opinion seems to think that the Irish tax system isn't progressive enough. Mucho tax increases are already in place to address this "problem". It is the high middle income earners getting hammered.

Makes me think more about giving my foreign passport some excercise. I do tend to feel like someone eslse's ATM.
