Am I eligible for an Irish state pension?

[Edentrillick]

Hi There
Im planning to retire in June of this year, having worked here for 6 years ( previously 34 years in the UK). Am I entitled to any Irish state pension and if so do i need to apply now. Alternatively If the answer is "no" can i reclaim PRSI contributions already made?? Ill be moving back to the UK on retirement.
Many thank for your advice

Almost certainly not possible to qualify for an Irish state pension but you may be able to use Irish contributions to get you to the 35 years needed for a full UK pension.

How old are you?
