it is not 40%, it depends on your civil status and your tax credits.
For single person your annual salary will be taxed at 20% until €36,400 and taxed at 40% the rest. You have to pay also the Universal Social Charge.

And that's why I said "around 40%" but you're right, civil status changes it significantly
Well, effective final % as taxes/gross pay relation is more like around 30% unless you have a very high salary.
There are some online calculators that make it easier to calculate
1 - Daft.ie. Period.
2 - It's not a "Welfare office", and you should go there (or not) depending on your address
3 - Or you just slide it on their mailboxes (depending where you are, the mail option may be more convenient)
4 - NIB? Well, AIB is good (but expensive), Bank of Ireland is not good, Ulster bank can't get their cronjobs right, but these three (and not NIB) are everywhere
5 - "Buy a mobile phone" or you just, you know, buy a sim card for your phone. This can be had in 5 min. And don't worry, it's cheap
6 - No crap sherlock.
"and compare the cost of living and taxes with your city in order to properly negotiate your salary"
And here's some good advice. I learned this, let's say, not the hard way, but I was "surprised" nonetheless. Always ask how much your net salary would be (and how much rent costs). For Ireland, expect around 40% of your salary to be taken for taxes, and you can have a small single apartment in the city center for between 600€ to 900€ (of course it's always possible to go higher)
