I suppose we don’t have anything similar here?

No, but it's usually easy to calculate.

(Number of reckonable contributions or credits) / 2080 x 100 gives the percentage of the full rate contributory pension to which one is entitled. (Maximum 100%).

E.g. say you have 1,659 reckonable contributions/credits then that means 1659 / 2080 x 100 =~ 80% of the full pension.

You can get your PRSI contribution statement from myWelfare:
And there are loads of existing threads on ways to maximise your PRSI contributions/credits if you otherwise risk being short of the 2,080 figure at retirement age.

The latest update, Mrs Nobody was on to Sligo today.
She was informed that she has 277 reckonable contributions and you only need 260 to get a reduced pension.
She will have this year to add, also she work as a volunteer aboard for a year and has applied for the Volunteer Development Worker Scheme.
We shall wait for further developments.
