    Will I get Dole in Summer?
    Hi guys new to boards and wondering if you could help me. I've been offered a new job in a very good workplace but will only be 9 months a year with June, July and August off and is a daily rate so I won't get paid for those months. It is the same for everyone with this company. Would I be entitled to the dole during these three months in the summer next year? Any help would be appreciated. I will be starting last week of August.

    Its kind off a dream job for me but I was just wondering will I get it as the wages are much more than my previous job for 9 months.

    Congrats! I don't know for definite but I would have thought you'd be entitled to Jobseekers benefit during the summer months, it isn't means tested and you receive it when you're not working provided you have enough prsi contributions, is €188 and you get more if you have any dependants, congrats again!
