Social welfare after college while working part time?

    Right here's my situation, I've just finished college, and have been searching for jobs for months with no joy yet.
    I work in a cafe part time for the last good while but only get about 5 hours a week (comes in at €40) and they're not going to be able to give me more hours.
    I'm fairly certain I have enough stamps to get the social welfare payments but would I get anything to help my fund situation if I was still working for those few hours cause I really can't survive on that little money or would I have to quit to be entitled to anything?
    I know there's the Xs and Os scheme for when you go from full time employment into part-time but does that count for someone just out of full time education?
    Any help will be much appreciated!

    If you are finished college you can get the dole about €192ish a week. You can also work a number of hours and it wont effect your payment, but you need to declare it.
