You need to check with your employer how they will continue to pay you. There are regulations about Posted Workers, which allow employees to work in other countries and still be paid under the social insurance system of the original country. However, there are strict rules about what is considered to be a posted worker. Your tax and social insurance position will depend on whether you are a Posted Worker or not. Your employer should be able to confirm. The Posted Worker provisions are under EU law. They are extended during the Brexit Transition period, but if you are a Posted Worker, then you will need to keep an eye on whatever arrangements are put in place after the Transition period ends.
If you are a posted worker, you will qualify for a medical card, which covers you for all GP, emergency and other public medical care. If you are not a posted worker, and subject to Irish PRSI, then you will be subject to the same rules and charges as Irish residents for medical care. Public hospital charges are 75 Euro per night, capped at 750 for the year.
Here is some info from the WRC on Posted Workers legislation https://www.workplacerelations.ie/en/what_you_should_know/employment_types/posted workers/Hi
I am in a very similar position to the OP, although I would only continue working for my UK employer in Ireland for 2-3 months.
I called Irish Citizens Information and they advised that I would be a posted worker. You mentioned that there are strict rules about what is considered a posted worker...my employer didn't know about the posted workers directive and assumed I could just "not tell anyone" and continue working for them from Ireland for the 2-3 months...obviously I'm not happy with that and I have found out what needs to be done with regards forms. But I'm just curious if you could share any more about what might not be considered posted working? I'm moving to Ireland regardless and my employer asked if I could stay on when I handed in notice, so technically they are not sending me, it's my choice to move - does this matter?
Thanks very much and apologies for jumping on this thread (sorry if that's not allowed!)
