    Just wondering can anyone tell me if i would be able to any sort of benefits such as job seekers this summer? I am 18 and just finished my first year of a two year PLC course in Sligo. I got the grant from susi but i have moved home for summer with my parents and its impossible to find work but i don't want to be absolutely broke for summer as i have a lot of payments to make for the last year of my course in September. Thanks

    No. Not until you are over 23 & have finished your course.

    Can you get it at 18? I was reading online on Citizens information and came across this "Jobseeker’s Allowance (JA) claimants without children aged between 18 and 24 receive €100 per week. "

    You can get it at 18 but only if you're not in full time education-which you are.
