Hi,
can anyone advise?I am split from partner 18 months. I work as a nurse on irregular shifts which are taking their toll on every level. A 9-5 option may be coming up shortly(job-sharing)18.75 hours per week(earning 450€ weekly gross approx) This is over the income threshold of 425€ as quoted on welfare.ie website for OPF and less than no. of hours for FIS. 2 kids-9 +13yrs plus an 23year old doing a post grad so lots of money used up.No mortgage thankfully. Savings dwindling fast! No financial support from kids' dad.
Q: Are these agencies flexible -if I could get even a very small contribution perhaps I could then access back to school and bus allowances etc.

thanks a million
Desiree
