No, unless it can be classified as a medical case.

Yes. And there's one pedicure a month for free too with a head massage every second month.

Perhaps, if they were growing out of your head or something.

Yes, depending on your medical situation best consult with your GP or nurse.


HSE chiropody service
The HSE can provide certain chiropody services to Medical Card holders. The doctor or public health nurse refers patients to the service. For further information on the chiropody service in your area, contact your local health centre or community services office. There are also private chiropodists throughout the country who can be contacted directly to arrange an appointment, your public health nurse may have contact details for chiropodists.

I think you can get one toe nail cut every six weeks free, anything after that you have to pay for.
