    You must have finished your leaving cert exams 3 months beore you can look for the dole.
    Then you will be means tested against your parents income if you are living at home, unless you are the father of a child.
    €100 is your maximum payment

    Well, yes really.
    Exceptions to age-related Jobseeker's Allowance payments for people under 25
    The reduced age-related personal and qualified adult rates of Jobseeker’s Allowance for claimants under 25 years of age do not apply to:
    • Claimants with dependent children
    • People transferring to Jobseeker’s Allowance immediately after finishing their entitlement to Jobseeker’s Benefit
    • People transferring from Disability Allowance to Jobseeker’s Allowance
    • Existing Jobseeker’s Allowance claimants who are assessed at the higher rate of allowance, get work but lose that job and are back on Jobseeker’s Allowance within 12 months
    • People under 25 participating in a course of education, training or Community Employment. (However, when the course ends you will return to an age-related JA payment, if you were getting one before you started the course.)
    • People who were at least 20 years of age on 30 December 2009 and became unemployed on or before 30 December 2009
    • People who were 18 or 19 on 30 December 2009 and became unemployed on or before 29 April 2009
    • People aged 22 to 24 who are taking part in the Work Placement Programme
