"As a foreigner living in Letterkenny, you will have access to public healthcare, provided you meet certain residency requirements. The Irish public healthcare system, known as the Health Service Executive (HSE), offers a range of services, including general practitioner (GP) visits, hospital care, and emergency services. However, depending on your income and residency status, you may be required to pay for some services or obtain private health insurance. The quality of healthcare in Ireland is generally good, with well-trained medical professionals and modern facilities. However, waiting times for non-emergency treatments can be long, and some rural areas may have limited access to specialized services," remarked another expat who made the move to Letterkenny, Ireland.
