Tax question from non-resident about payment received abroad

Hi

I am about to fill in my tax return for 2009.

I live outside Europe. My husband has diplomatic status and we are not taxed on our income abroad. We rent a house here in Ireland and I pay tax on this property as a non-resident landlord each year.

I earned around 16,000 EUR in 2009 for consultancy work that was paid into my Irish bank account. I was not taxed on this amount where we live (the Middle East) - as I am technically not supposed to work there given my visa status. So I am really unsure about how to proceed. Should I include this amount in my Irish tax return? I don't want it to come back and haunt me in years to come...

Any advice appreciated.
