Looking at Irish Life for mortgage protection?

Here's an honest 2025 review covering prices, extras like illness cover, and how they compare to other insurers in Ireland.

You’re probably buzzing about your new home – but before you pop the champagne, make sure you’re not handing your life insurance payout straight to the bank.

One day you're grand, the next, at 3am you're googling “what does a heart attack feel like”

But then Sarah gets sick.

She’s out of work for a week because of cramps. The company she works for are decent and pay her for up to 10 sick days a year. Sarah’s not worried.
