Advice on Jobseekers Benefit and Moving Home

    Hello, perhaps someone out there might be able to answer my question!
    I'm currently living in the west and have been receiving Jobseekers Benefit since a fixed-term contract came to an end a few weeks ago. I'll be entitled to claim this for about 9 months.

    In July/August I hope to move up to Dublin for good, and have a place to live lined up there - however, I will have to supervise a complete renovation of the premises before I can move in, and will need to be in Dublin on and off in the summer to keep an eye on the electricians/plumbers etc.

    As I've already mentioned, I'm currently in receipt of JB; however, I've heard of a job going locally which I'd be interested in taking. If I got the job, I'd have to resign at some stage, probably at the end of June when my Dublin flat becomes available (it's currently tenanted), and when I begin my big move up to Dublin.
    Because I'll be voluntarily leaving the job to enable a move across country, would I be barred from any social welfare payment? Would I be allowed to re-claim a Jobseekers Benefit or perhaps Jobseekers Assistance, or would I just be better to stay unemployed and continue to claim the JB until September or until I find a job up in Dublin following my move?

    I'd really prefer to work, but am worried that I'd be left with no income in July/August if I choose to leave whatever job I've taken.

    All advice welcome here!
