Hi guys, my wife is pregnant and we are based in Dublin. So the estate that we live in is going through court case and a part of the case is that, we are going to be displaced for 7-8 months, we just don’t know when. Also, there is construction going on in the estate exactly at the back of our house which is going to go on for another 2 years or so which is causing stress and anxiety to my wife.
We have obtained medical cert and solicitors letter for what exactly is going on. The medical cert says that it is not the right environment for the mother to be in, hence the mother is being advised to move to some other place.
The only practical option for us now is to go to our home country, so does any of you know, if we decide to get the baby delivered outside Ireland and stay outside Ireland for more than 6 weeks, would we be eligible for the rest of the maternity benefit beyond 6 weeks given the situation.
