Terminal Illness Benefit
If you have stand-alone specified illness cover (which means you have no life cover on this plan) and you are diagnosed as having a terminal illness, Irish will pay €15,000 of your specified illness cover straight away, or half your specified illness benefit amount, whichever is lower.
