    This is what the welfare advise
    If you are not entitled to pay for sick leave

    If you are not entitled to sick pay from work you may get Illness Benefit if you have enough (PRSI) social insurance contributions (see 'Rules' below). If you do not have enough social insurance contributions, you should contact the Community Welfare Officer at your Local Health Office. The Community Welfare Officer will assess your situation and may give you a Supplementary Welfare Allowance.
    Your employer can decide their own policy on sick pay and sick leave. More information is available in our document about sick leave and employment.
