How to travel to
Ireland
It is useful to know that between October and
March, the direct tourist sea route between
Continental Europe and Ireland will have stopped
operating. If you plan to leave with a vehicle, it
will be necessary for you to travel via England
during this period. With regard to air travel, the
companies Air France, Aer Lingus and Ryanair
operate direct scheduled flights.
Health
An E111 form is necessary for you to receive a
refund on any medical expenses incurred. You will
need to obtain an E111 form from your local centre
for social security at least a month before your
departure.
