    *If you are getting a jobseeker's payment, each day you are unemployed, except Sunday, is counted as a day of unemployment.
    From here http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/social_welfare/social_welfare_payments/back_to_education/back_to_education_allowance.html

    It looks like each day you are working is counted,it might be more than 9 months to make up the time required.

    You need 234 Jobseeker Days to qualify - days worked don't count - why not ask the SW Local Office to let you know the number of days signed so far and you can project your September position from there.
