Not sure about the tax part of your question. You might find your answer on the Revenue.ie website.

Re self employment contributions - he will not be eligible to apply for Unemployment Benefit, but will be eligible to apply for Unemployment Assistance which is means tested. His social welfare local office should be able to help him. My understanding is that he makes an application through his swlo and they send out an Inspector to assess how much he is entitled to.
