Quick query, is it possible for a widower who worked for 10 years in the UK and 35 years in Ireland to claim Irish widows pension and small UK state pension pension?
 
Irish widows pension has two 'versions' only one is not means tested.

You can claim as long as you are resident, legally married / civil partnership & your spouse is deceased.

Widow’s, Widower’s or Surviving Civil Partner’s (Contributory) Pension

Widow's, Widower's or Surviving Civil Partner's (Contributory) Pension is paid to the husband, wife or civil partner of a deceased person. You or the deceased must have enough PRSI contributions.

UK pension entitlements are different, but you should definitely check it out. They take months to reply, but you will eventually get a response.
