2 questions:
1 - if you're self-employed and paying class S at the minimum level (i.e. €500 per annum if you earn over 5K, or voluntarily below 5K) how is that treated for the purposes of the contributory pension entitlement calculation.
Is it considered the equivalent of 52 weeks?
2 - for PAYE, if you're below the PRSI threshold, but your employer is paying PRSI, do these weeks count towards the contributory pension?
