I'd say most of the country would be very interested in a positive answer to this question!

If you qualify for the household benefits package.

It doesn't apply to Jobseekers payments, if that's what you're asking.

No, it doesn't apply to persons on One Parent Family Payment.

The link that Celtwytch posted lists who qualifies for the Household Benefits Package (which includes TV licence).

Never heard of Household Benefit for people on Disability Benefit (now Illness Benefit) and the ref. you gave does not include Illness Benefit.
Take a further read.
 
It mentions it down the bottom of the page. I know this is true because my mother gets it and she is disabled.

OR
You are under 66 and are receiving:
  • Invalidity Pension
  • Blind Pension
  • Incapacity Supplement or Workmen's Compensation with Disablement Pension (for at least 12 months)
  • Disability Allowance
  • An equivalent Social Security Pension/Benefit from a country covered by EU Regulations, or from a country with which Ireland has a Bilateral Social Security Agreement
and live alone or only with certain excepted persons.
 
Illness Benefit & Disability Allowance are 2 completely different payments.

Those receiving Illness Benefit do not qualify for the household benefit package. I'd assume that your mother is on Disability Allowance.
