Apply for a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC)
The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) replaced forms such as the E111 and E128 as of the 1st June 2004.
As an Irish resident you are entitled to get healthcare through the public system in countries of the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland if you become ill or injured while on a temporary stay there. One Card is needed for each individual or member of the family.
