I may be wrong..but perhaps somebody knows for sure..do vets generally treat native irish species for free? Say you brought in an injured fox .swan.etc..

They're obliged to stabilise and give first aid for any animal that is brought in and most will give basic first aid for wildlife free of charge.
However, if it was a fox or something dangerous you would just call the wildlife Ranger and he would take it from there. Anything that's ongoing, the vets need to be paid and I think the environmental department would take care of it if it was in the Rangers care.
What animal is it?

You may be better off contacting a wildlife rehabilitator in your area. They would have their own vets and may be able to better direct you to the best way to get care for the animal in question.

Definitely contact a wildlife specialist first as the chances are your local vet will probably have never treated a fox or swam etc.
