Most public hospitals provide accident and emergency services. Anybody in Ireland with a medical emergency is entitled to attend their Accident and Emergency Departments. You may have to pay charges for public hospital services.
People attending the Accident and Emergency Department of a public hospital are prioritised on the basis of medical need. You may be required to wait for treatment if you have a non-urgent injury or illness.
Some private hospitals and clinics offer emergency services. You will be charged the full cost of care in private facilities.
