I was told that this was because I wouldn't be available for work if they needed to call me in.
I mentioned that Eire was part of the European Union and wasn't I therefore able to claim as we are supposed to be able to work anywhere in the Union.
I was told I would have to put a new claim in, in the country I was going to to cover my unemployment there.
A relative in S. Ireland inquired for me and I would have had to be resident over there for 6 weeks before I could claim anything, as I was only going for 3 days it wasn't much use.

all in all that really is a total farce..you would think that if someone is getting up of their backside to make the effort then they would get all the help required..
the whole system from back to front is all wrong.
