> does your current employer still pay you US salary if you live in ireland?

Yes, but this varies by company, and is predicated on the assumption that the move wouldn’t interfere with my job performance. E.g., I would still work my normal US hours because my job requires some amount of communication with my team.

Most employers, HR and payroll aren't willing to deal with taxes, labor laws ect across different countries.

I am really surprised that some employers are willing to go such great lengths.

Most don't ask questions. In my case I used my mom's address and lived abroad. When you file your taxes and you've been outside of the US for most of the year, you get all of your federal withholding refunded. I'm sure this would not stand up to scrutiny, but I did it for eight years and never had any trouble.
