Dual citizen US/Ireland need healthcare in EU

Upvote:6

No you almost certainly can't.

As explained in this question, eligibility for free healthcare in Ireland (and most other countries) is based on residency, not citizenship. You would need to obtain medical insurance to be covered for anything that happened to you in Ireland, and such coverage would not include pre-existing conditions. There are explicit exclusions on paying healthcare costs if you travel for the purpose of medical care.

It could be done if you moved back to Ireland, but you would have to establish that you are "ordinarily resident" - that means a move for at least a year, and there may be other requirements as well. You could still be excluded if they thought a medical procedure was the reason for the move.

You will probably have to go the traditional American route of suing the pants off the doctor who performed the bad surgery.
