What do you mean by "the pension"?
Contributory (PRSI linked) or non-contributory (means tested)?
State Pension (Contributory)
The State Pension (Contributory), previously called the Old Age (Contributory) Pension, is payable to people aged 66 and over who have worked and paid enough social insurance contributions.
State Pension (Non-Contributory)
The State Pension (Non-Contributory) previously called the Old Age Non-Contributory Pension is a means-tested payment available to people in Ireland aged 66 and over.
My understanding is that you won't receive any State Pension if your PRSI record is not fully paid up. Also it is an all or nothing situation so you don't get a portion of it or anything like that. Also as far as I am aware it's not backdated either, you only receive the pension from the date your PRSI liabilities are paid up
