If he gets a Class A job, he will need a minimum of 260 weekly contributions (5years) to qualify for a pro-rata pension. So based on current rules if he got a Class A job for say 8 years (up to age 66) he might gets a State Pension of 8/43 (35 +8) by State Pension.

Annie,
For the pro-Rata pension you only need a minimum of 5 years contributions. Yes you need a minimum of 10 years if your only contributions are Class A.
Slim,
Based on current rules, it looks like they would get 8/43rds od State Pension , so circa €42 based on current level of Contributory Pension.
