Key Post UK State Pension - Make voluntary contributions to qualify for UK pension on top of Irish pension

Hi, posted a ? under an older thread re uk buy back but no response there - the question was if I do a buy back for years in the uk while I was working in Ireland and contributing in irleland does that mean I am double contributing ? - is this ok not to mention legal....also I am in the weird situation where I can make voluntary contributions in Ireland going forward whilst contributing in uk where I am now working, kinda same ? is it ok, wrong or illegal?...thoughts please, would like to get this correct now rather than face confusion later, thanks if any suggestions

Thanks
I’ll ring in 2 weeks or so if it isn’t updated online. Hopefully it will be updated online so I won’t have to

Note that the first time I rang them was mid-August. They said it would be fixed online within a few weeks. It still isn't.

Furthermore, my CF86 form is still showing as In Progress, and it says that my 2023-24 tax hasn't yet been calculated!
 
Just a quick update and thank again for people on here.

Eventually rang and eventually got through to hmrc who confirmed payment in respect of backdated contributions received (class 2), guided 40plus weeks before updated on line.

Think both myself and other half have now 23 odd years contributions and will pay class 2 contribution till retirement, assuming uk doesn’t go bankrupt and we don’t pop our clogs in the meantime, it will be a very welcome boost to retirement income

Thanks again for advice on here
