a. an Irish payment based solely on your contributions paid/credited in Ireland
and/or 
b. a Québec payment based solely on periods of reckonable insurance and/or residence in Québec
or
c. if you do not have enough contributions paid in Ireland or sufficient periods of social insurance and/or residence in Québec you might qualify for a proportional Irish or Québec payment (or both) based on a combination of your Irish contributions and Québec periods of social insurance and/or residence.
