I think if you work full time that your not entitled to anything,fair play to you for not giving up!! you might be able to apply for FIS though?

Social welfare payments are means tested, if you earn over a certain amount you will not be entitled to payment. As Lee said, you may be able to get a FIS payment if you are on a low income. Here is a link to see if you may be entitled http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/social_welfare/social_welfare_payments/social_welfare_payments_to_families_and_children/family_income_supplement.html
