If the migrant finds a job, under Irish law he or she must make either 32 weeks of PRSI contributions in one tax year or 52 weeks of PRSI contributions over two tax years before qualifying for social welfare benefit. The immigrant may also qualify for social welfare assistance, which is means tested, if seeking a job in Ireland. If he or she has not found work within six months of receiving benefits, the legal situation of the immigrant becomes very grey. To summarise, anyone who migrates to Ireland will have to work and will not get social welfare benefit for more than six months.
