Based on the details shown at http://www.citizensinformation.ie/c...amilies-and-children/family_income_supplement, you probably are entitled.

Unfortunately, as your husband is self-employed, you cannot apply for FIS. See here

I don't know if this is true, my brother in law is self employed and he and my sister are getting FIS!

"The claimant must be in employment as an employee, under a contract of service; self-employment does not qualify as employment in this context. The spouse or partner may however be self-employed and income from such self-employment is assessed in relation to the income condition."

Is your sister the claimant?
