    Yeah I did ...you have to be already claiming a welfare payment for example if I claimed lone parent and worked over 19 hours the lone parent would cut my money only for fis to give me it back... Ridiculous

    FIS will top you up with 60% of he difference between 500quid, and whatever wage your partner takes home.

    E.g If he takes home 300, they give you 120. Could help.

    If you are looking for full time work can you not apply for job seekers?

    Ok well check out FIS.
    Work wise look up market research call centres in dun laoghaire and Blackrock.
    I don't know if they are still there......they used to open 7 days a week.

    If you have paid enough prsi can you not apply for jobseekers benefit. Even if it's a lower amount for your age it's still something?

    Agreed. If I'm correct, you can mind up to three children in your own home and earn up to €15,000 tax free.

    You would need to look into that. Note that rules for babies are stricter than those for older children.
