Dole before college?

I'm not sure if this is a stupid question, but would I be entitled to claim the dole for the summer before I start college? I just finished my Leaving Cert.

If you have just left school you cannot get Jobseeker's Allowance. To get Jobseeker's Allowance you must have been out of school for three months and you must be at least 18 years of age.
