    You haven't resigned - your contract has ended. Therefore you are entitled to Jobseekers Benefit if you have made enough contributions.
    See here.

    So:

    At least 104 weeks PRSI paid since you first started work
    And
    39 weeks PRSI paid or credited in the relevant tax year (a minimum of 13 weeks must be paid contributions*)
    Or
    26 weeks PRSI paid in the relevant tax year and 26 weeks PRSI paid in the tax year immediately before the relevant tax year.

    Did you work prior to the two years?

    You are entitled to the Jobseekers allowance as well but this is means tested. Everything you need is in the link above.
