I don't know the answer to this but I would hope that she would not be eligible, given that she is gone from this country for 65 years.
Does she not get a pension in the UK?

Your mother would not be entitled to a pension from Ireland. A non-contributory pension would only be paid if she were living here now.
The only way she would be entitled to a part Contributory pension from Ireland is if she had worked here after the age of 16. You cannot pay insurance before the age of 16, Sorry Browtal
