The maximum rates (from January 2010) are as follows:

€196 for the applicant, €130.10 for a qualified adult and €29.80 for each qualified child.

Payment for qualified adult and children will depend on the family circumstances - e.g. is spouse working or claiming benefit themselves.

Thanks for your reply no spouse is not working or claiming benefit, so how much should the total payment be per week please.

about €416 a week i suppose from what has been said above
196 = you
130 = wife
90 = kids
and you prob get about 330 or so child benefit per month
medical card i suppose
uniform allowance
so about €500 a week in all !!
Right I am moving to Ireland to sign on ! ?
you would get about half that or less here in the UK

Bear in mind that Child Benefit is paid to everyone whether they're signing on or not, and the Back to School allowance may also be paid to persons on low income (with Family Income Supplement) so isn't exclusive to persons solely on SW.

Fuel allowance is paid to long-term recipients of Jobseeker's - not to those who have just signed on.

The Household Benefits Scheme is not applicable to unemployment/jobseekers based claims.
