Benefits for newly graduated student

[Enimhaol]

I am a 21 year old student who is graduating in the end of May, and I am due to give birth at the end of July. I will be unable to work between now and then due to the nature of my degree, as well as my living situation as I live with my parents with no access to public transport and I can’t drive. When the baby arrives I will no longer be able to live at home due to space issues and will have to move out. I will be moving to Austria to live with my partner who will still be in university until the end of 2026. I will have no income and have very little savings. I have no idea where or how to apply for funding to help pay for rent for the first few months until I can start working. His income will not be sufficient to support the three of us and I can’t get any support from my family as my parents are retired and only one has a pension. Any recommendations on how I can make money or what type of grant to apply for would be super useful! Thanks

Can your boyfriend move to Ireland to be closer to you?

If you want to be together the only way I see that happening is that you stay in Ireland where you will be entitled to some form
of benefits and your boyfriend moves to Ireland. At that point he has the choice of a) transferring his degree to an Irish university and seeing what help he can get from them in terms of accommodation / grants or b) he gets a job and earns money to support you all and then you get a job and support you all whilst he finishes his degree:

I don’t think OP is coming back…

OP seems to be living in a dreamworld - no way is her plan feasible or workable. 🤷‍♀️
