What about Family Income Supplement? If you have a nett income ((i.e. gross pay less Tax, Employee's PRSI, Health Contribution and Superannuation) of less that €480, you will be entitled to 60% of the difference between your combined income and the limit (€480). There is a minimum payment to if your income is close to the threshold.
Also if you are working three days a week, and qualify for Jobseeker's Benefit (unless you are as Clubman's assumption above), you could claim three days benefit for the days you are not working. You need 39 paid contributions and 39 paid or credited in the governing year, 2005 to qualify for that.
