No, your son cannot exceed the permitted work hours by holding multiple part-time jobs while studying abroad. In both Ireland and France, international students are typically allowed to work up to 20 hours per week during term time, regardless of the number of jobs.

He may hold more than one part-time job, but the total hours worked cannot surpass the legal weekly limit. Violating these rules can risk his student visa status. Compliance is essential to maintain both his visa and academic standing.
