some questions....
1. when you say "here" do you mean rep.of ireland?
2. has she been working "here"?if so, how long? and why is she not working now?
3. if she wasnt working here, was she working in northern ireland?
4. if she was working in northern ireland why is she not working there now?
5. in other words what are your circumstances?
we are happy to advise you if you will enlarge a bit. her/your entitlements are not as straightforward as you think. congrats on your impending fatherhood:):):)

if she lives and works up north she may be able to transfer her stamps to claim dole in the south, so she will get whatever the dole is in the north transferred to euros but if she has not got enough stamps she will get nothing in the south.

This is the extract from Citizens Information website on Cross Border Workers (which your girlfriend will be once she moves down to the Free State)

Cross-border workers

You are a cross-border (or frontier) worker if you live in one EU country but work in another and you go home at least once a week. As a cross-border worker, you must be treated in the same way as an employee who is a national of the country of employment as regards the right to apply for jobs, working conditions and social benefits.

Therefore, the general rule is that you pay social security contributions in the member state where you are employed and you are subject to the legislation of that state even if you live in another member state.

With regard to benefits, generally you get short-term benefits from the state where you last paid insurance and long-term benefits proportionately from all the countries in which you paid insurance.

For cross-border workers, the rule in relation to unemployment benefit is as follows:

During partial or intermittent unemployment you get your benefit from the country of employment
During periods of being wholly unemployed, you get your benefit from the country of residence.
If you are employed/self-employed in two member states, you pay social security contributions in the state where you live.

Is your g/f working in the north or is she on benefit in the north. If she is on benefit she can transfer her claim to the south for 78 days. If she is on an allowance scheme this can not be transferred. If she is working she cannot transfer her contribution to the south unless she can get one A con in the south when she moves down.

trapper an a con is a prsi contribution at class A. every week you work legally in ireland you make a prsi contribution. so does your employer. this money is then used to pay social welfare payments to people. prsi is paid at different rates depending on wether you are a private employee, a public servant etc. most employees pay class a prsi. if your girlfriend is working in the north and she is paying national insurance and if she comes to the south and gets at least one weeks work, she might be able to carry her contributions from the north to the south and get benefit, but she has to fulfill all the other criteria for jobseekers benefit as well. she needs to investigate all her options before she makes any desicions. im afraid its far more complicated then you appear to think. child benefit in ireland is always paid to the mother of the child, not the dad apart from exceptional circumstances.
