If you get part-time or casual work (up to and including 3 days per week), you may still be paid a proportion of your Jobseeker's Allowance. However, you must show that you are trying to get full-time employment.

from here http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/social_welfare/social_welfare_payments/unemployed_people/jobseekers_allowance.html

Call into your local office and tell them you have got some part time work they will give you a form for your employer to fill in.When you return this form you will get X and O's to fill in weekly.
