yes if your friend has recourse to public funds (i.e. because he is British) then he can claim child benefit even if the children have no recourse.

and how about if the personne has adual irish/british applying under eea2 (hasband non eea) based on her irish nationality would that affect her application if she does take child bnefit?
and how about housing benefit ?

Errr, sorry but have you actually looked through the chapter? You give some details except the relevant one. In what capacity does your partner exercise treaty rights? Match this with the text.

Then you better read it again, in particular the last paragraph. It will obviously depend on your personal circumstances. The burden of proof will be on you.
