Just a statement of my social insurance to keep for my own records?

Yes

Obviously good to double check but I expect everything was paid as I worked in professional jobs / government jobs.

I would expect so too, but if there is anything missing, it is much easier to have it corrected now when the records are fresh than in 30 years.

You will find stories on AAM of people who have struggled to prove employment early in their careers for PRSI purposes

On a other aspect the "date of entry in to insurance" seems important for me (2026er), I may have some UK contributions before this but maybe not a lot (student jobs) so it would seem better to ignore them as a later date of entry makes my average higher. Seems you need 40 years complete contributions now to get a full CP after 2026, that's a lot. In effect those who worked are covering those who had significant caring duties.

Edit: Rereading it all it seems none of that matters for post 2026, its 2080 or a proportion of that for the same pro rata pension?
