Spring is a wonderful time to dream of holidays and trips that could happen during the year.

.

If you are planning to take an overseas trip then you should consider a travel insurance policy. A decent travel policy can provide cover against losses such as:

• Damaged or delayed luggage
• Cancelled flights
• Delayed or missed departure
• Loss or theft of money or passport
• Emergency medical assistance
• Personal accident
• Personal liability

There are different types of policies available depending on your travel needs.

• Single trip
• Annual multi trip
• Backpacker
• Sports and activities such as winter sports can be added to certain policies

Optional extra coverage can be sought for wider flight cancellation cover, cruise connections, business equipment, golf equipment, and ski equipment.

Some travel policies will give a discount if you hold a private medical insurance policy that covers medical cover abroad.

The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), which is available at no cost from the HSE, will provide you with access to necessary medical state-provided healthcare during a temporary stay in any of the 27 EU countries; Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland or the United Kingdom under the same conditions and the same cost (free in some countries) as people insured in that country.

It should be noted that the European Health Insurance Card is not an alternative to travel insurance and will not cover private healthcare costs or costs such as a return flight to your home country or lost/stolen property.

The Dóchas Drama Group will run a series of short plays at the Muckross Schoolhouse from December 5 to 7.

The group’s annual performance has been switched to the Muckross venue as its traditional base – the ballroom in the Killarney Avenue Hotel is being refurbished.

“If you are fed up with the incessant rain and constant bad news. Do you need a break? Are tired of listening to advice about your Christmas cake recipe? There is a perfect solution,” said the group’s Liz Ryan.

“We will present six short plays and some of the questions you may ask yourself are: 

“Why is Jane suddenly so honest?

“What did happen on December 9. Will Tiffany be promoted? Will Mags eventually find love?

“Can lost love be re-kindled? What do grandparents get up to when they’re babysitting?

For answers to these questions and more, come along to Muckross Schoolhouse on December 5, 6 and 7.”
