COVID-19 Pandemic Unemployment Payment for Self-Employed
“You may, if your trading income has collapsed to the extent that you are available to take up other full-time employment if it was offered to you, receive a payment of €350 per week for so long as you are available to take up other work.” (14/05/2020)

COVID-19 Part-Time Job Incentive Scheme for the Self-Employed
If you are self-employed and were getting the COVID-19 Pandemic Unemployment Payment or a jobseeker’s payment, but you are returning to work, the COVID-19 Part-Time Job Incentive for the Self-Employed is designed to support you.
You can earn up to €960 gross over 8 weeks while receiving the COVID-19 Pandemic Unemployment Payment. However, if you are returning to work part-time (less than 24 hours per week) and earn more than this, you should apply for this scheme. Under the scheme, there is no income limit to your part-time earnings.
