    Jobseeker's allowance and unemployment assistance?

    Can anyone tell me what the difference is between these two?

    many thanks.

    No difference. Jobseekers Allowance was known as Unemployment Assistance prior to Oct 2006 and is a means tested payment given when you have no entitlement to Jobseekers Benefit (previously Unemployment Benefit) based on your PRSI contributions or have exhausted your Benefit entitlement.
