    Hi folks

    I'm making an enquiry for my brother who lived his whole life in UK and is turning 65.
    He has a full 35 years of Contributions made in the UK however moved to Ireland when he was 60 and has no work in Ireland apart from the odd bit of temp work so has only paid maybe 8 stamps a year in Ireland (trying to get a full time job in Ireland at 60 isn't easy)

    The retirement age in UK is 65 and Ireland is 66

    Is he entitled to a Contributory based pension in Ireland which will draw down on his UK stamps/contributions??
    Or will it be a Non-contributory based pension

    If its non-contributory - would he be better just drawing the UK pension then and at least then its contributory based ??

    He should apply for his UK pension and then when he is 66 apply for a Irish non con to top it up.
    He hasn’t got enough Irish PRSI contributions to apply for an Irish con pension
