Invalidity Pension entitlement - living in Northern Ireland

[Bocking14]

If a person is self-employed and paying PRSI in the Republic of Ireland but living in Northern Ireland, are they entitled to apply for an Invalidity Pension in ROI?

The Citizens Information and Welfare websites seem ambiguous as they mention the habitual residence condition but then "resident in the state" when applying.

Thanks in advance

Habitual Residence requirements don't generally apply to schemes based on PRSI contributions.

Here are the operational guidelines for invalidity pension.

I had looked at those guidelines and the references to residency do seem contradictory
