Considering a move to Eire?

Travel Info
i wonder if anyone can help. i live with my son and my mother in England, all British citizens, but we're considering a move to Ireland. However, my mother is disabled and would be unable to work, and I was just wondering about whether or not she would be entitled to any state support, ie benefits? i doubt it, but if anyone could help id appreciate it. Thanks

All the above answers are correct.

Please pay no attention to the Gobshites above who Wrongly corrected you in regards to irelands name. You were right to say Eire. Irelands official name is Eire,- for those who doubt, Read the constitution. "bunrath na hEireann".
I cant believe that muppets exist and dont know our own country is called Eire or Eireann, when its wrote on every coin and stamp in the country.
You should be taken out and shot,for correcting this person who was right in the first place.
The first offical name of ireland is Eire, Eireann,
as irish is the official first language of the country as enshrined in the constitution.
Republic of ireland is the second term for ireland.

You should have no trouble fitting in here as you are already ahead of some of the natives.
Donegal is great was there on saturday. However the services for the disabled can be sparse if you live in a sparsly populated area,
good luck and Ceid mile Failte Source(s): Irish person who has read the Constitution.
Interesting fact, According to the constitution, the president must ask permision of the Dail before He/She can leave the country even for a holiday,

Hope you find the information you need and good luck with the move

If your son is under 16 you can also apply for child benefit here too!!
don't come here the health service is crap, people waiting on trolleys in emergency rooms for 10 hours sometimes
the girl above me is right about the health service but if you're disabled you actually get quite a lot of benefits... There are some requirements I think but you can look into it and see.

Generally you should have same rights as an Irish person has claiming state benefits here in the uk.
sounds like a good move , i think you would be entitled to same allowances as any irish person , it may be a bit of a culture shock though
