What pension is my wife entitled to?

Number of posts : 276 Registration date : 2011-06-27

I am self employed working in Eire, and have been since 1990, prior to that I worked in the UK since 1963, some of that employed and some self-employed. I have always paid the stamps that were required. My wife is now 61, she only worked in the UK for about 2 years, and not at all here.
Does she qualify for UK pension due to my contributions?
Can she claim UK pension even though we live in Ireland?
