Many Irish hosts dont' declare income to Revenue Commission

I seem to recall reading that the tax rate in Ireland for Airbnb hosts was very very high. Actually even.... absurdly high to the point where you almost end up paying people to stay in your home. Maybe this is the reason that many hosts are not declaring their income to "the taxman"? Make dumb laws and a lot of people will become outlaws...
