The first problem is, she wouldn't be entitled, as far as I know, to claim stamps in Ireland as she didn't contribute in Ireland. The second problem is if she stopped her payment from the UK and signed on for Jobseekers allowance in Ireland, she will be means tested and as you are employed her money could be cut considerably, if she got anything at all (that depends on your income). Third problem is stamps in this country are now only given for 9 months (I think) and you must be on a SW payment for at least a year to be eligible for CE Scheme. Hope this helps.
