You should look at the Back to Work Enterprise allowance if on JSA for more than 1 year - It provides a bit of a safety net for the 1st 2 years in business. It is set up through a jobs faciliator in your local SW office or it can be done through one of the leader partnership companies

There is lots of info here - http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/social_welfare/social_welfare_payments/social_welfare_payments_and_work/back_to_work_enterprise_allowance.html

There is also a short term enterprise allowance for people on JSB - this just lasts for the duration of the JSB entitlement afaik
