Hi, according to the CIS website it's 40 years under the TCA.I don't think they've nailed down the full number of years you'll need under the new pro-rata total contributions approach pension in Ireland, but I'd go with 40 years to be on the pessimistic side. (So 10 years PRSI would get you 1/4 of the new state pension.)
This is my plan - I spent most of my life in the UK. Voluntary Class 2 NICs in the UK should get me 100% UK pension and 60% Irish pension, if this is how the system works out.You can pay voluntary class 2 NI contributions in the UK in addition to paying PRSI in Ireland. You may not be able to fill in some of the gaps, but anything helps.
You'll get a full UK pension on 35 years contributions, and you'll need (I think) a minimum of 10 years contributions in Ireland before you build up an entitlement to a portion of the Irish state pension.

As 50AndOut says, you can combine contributions from both countries, or apply for them separately. Differences in the EUR/GBP rates might affect your outcome.
In any case, I'd try to pay UK NI - it's really cheap for what you could potentially get in return.
