    www.welfare.ie has plenty of information about that.

    I'm pretty sure you can get something while you're in between. It will take a lot of filling out of forms, and when you go to further education it will stop.

    Hope that helped a little bit!

    You can only claim dole if available for and seeking work. If you are going back to college, you should not qualify for the dole, however perhaps you could qualify for the BTEA (Back To Education) allowance or similar. I dont know what the criteria are for this.

    If you are applying for the dole, bear in mind your parents income will be assesed as means if living at home; so you may or may not qualify.

    Also, this forum would probably be more apt :)

    You cannot make your claim until 3 months after your final exam.
