Hi,
I would be grateful if any one could tell me the situation around taking a career break approx 6 months and what the implications are around my Pension/PRSI benefits and anything else I should consider before travelling?

I have been in full employment for 6 years.

.

Specifically in relation to PRSI - if you are out of work for a period you can make voluntary contributions if you so choose in order to keep certain PRSI benefits (e.g. contributory pension rights etc.) up to date. Note that this does not cover treatment benefit so any gap in employment may mean that you don't qualify for optical/dental benefit at some stage in the future. See the Welfare PRSI page for more details: www.welfare.ie/topics/prsi/index.html
