Question about travel insurance

Hi - I'm English, in the UK and my forthcoming holiday will include a mixture of places in both Ireland and Northern Ireland. I don't usually bother with insurance for NI but, following Brexit, will I need it for Ireland? I have a pre-existing medical condition and have a GHIC. If the worst came to the worst, is there a reciprocal health agreement or would I have to pay for any treatment? What would happen, for example, if I broke my leg (unforeseen) or the medical condition caused a problem?
Thanks

Hi Carol,

It's wonderful to hear that you are planning a trip to the island of Ireland.

Regarding your query, I would encourage you to reach out to the Irish Embassy for Great Britain or your health authority for specific advice. You can also find relevant information about healthcare for UK nationals visiting Ireland here. You can also check out our Health Information page for general information.

I hope this information will be helpful to you.

Regards,
Eoin

That's great, thank you. Just what I was looking for.
