First time poster, long time admirer.
My partner, a UK native, is moving to ireland having just left her job in london. She has never worked in ireland, and hasn't found a job as yet, surprise, surprise.
My question is is she entitled to claim anything? From what i can see, UK folk satisfy the habitual residence condition (as do all EU citizens), but she has never paid stamps here. Is she entitled to jobseekers allowance, after the 9 weeks has passed? She will have paid plenty of national insurance, but that only seems relevant/useful if you've paid PRSI here at some point.
Or do i 'make' her take any aul job initially so that she gets on the PRSI ladder? While i'm prepared for all outcomes, it would be nice to know what questions or angles social welfare might throw up. Cheers
