The person concerned is not qualified for benefit under this Department’s dental benefit scheme, which is based on PRSI contributions paid (and currently covers a free dental examination).
If she is the holder of a Medical card, she should contact her local HSE office, who will be able to advise her of any assistance she may be entitled to through the HSE dental scheme.
