No I don't think that you can reclaim contributions.

Check out www.pensionsboard.ie for useful info, and also give your old employer a call and ask for a copy of the scheme rules (or see if you have them lying around somewhere).

Definately not I am afraid. Pre Finance Act 2002, contributions could be returned if employment ceased within 5 years however since 2002 the term was reduced to two years. These were the rules but could also be lowered within the scheme rules but not increased.
