In the "from" field of the email you can see "Revenue" <XZY@outlook.com> - which is a clear indication that the email wasn't sent by Revenue, but even if this spammer used "@Revenue.ie" it doesn't mean that the email is from a valid revenue sender as revenue.ie can be "spoofed" or the real sender's email hidden behind html/code.
The revenue will never send emails like this and are moving away from plain text email entirely due to security concerns.
