In Ireland, non-binary people are not recognised by law.
In Ireland, the waiting list to be seen by the ONLY GENDER CLINIC in the entire country is currently 3 years.
In Ireland, you are required to be diagnosed by two separate professionals before you are sent to do a 3 hour interview detailing your childhood, relationship and sexual history, disclose any forms of abuse suffered, and be asked about your masturbating habits just to be believed. Some times they will require you have your parents (even when you are an adult) confirm or deny what you say before they will consider you for treatment.
In Ireland, there are no surgeons who will perform top or bottom surgery for any non-cis person - despite the fact that we have many mastectomy surgeons on the island.
In Ireland, if you receive treatment abroad then you will be refused aftercare here if you suffer any complications even though if you were a cis person who has treatment abroad, they will provide aftercare.
