About the
Health Insurance Shop

The Health Insurance Shop was born from Hennelly Finance, a leading corporate and personal financial services provider.

We help you cut through the complexity of Ireland’s health insurance market.

Hennelly Finance’s expert team of financial advisors offer the full spectrum of financial services from retirement planning, investments and savings to health insurance, life cover and even specialist knowledge in employee benefits for organisations.

We are a regulated, impartial and secure service meaning that you can rest assured that our information is up-to-date, accurate and reliable.

We created the Health Insurance Shop to help you find the best health insurance plan in Ireland for your specific requirements. We can provide you with a whole-of-market health insurance comparison and help you to find the best plan on the market.

The Health Insurance Shop compares plans offered by health insurance companies such as VHI, Laya Healthcare and Irish Life Health.

That's where Hennelly Finance comes in. Founded by Helena Hennelly in 2000 and based in Barna, Co. Galway, the family business has spent more than 25 years helping individuals, families and businesses make confident decisions about their cover. As an independent broker regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland, the team provides clear, impartial advice across all of Ireland's major health insurers and takes the time to understand each client's circumstances. It's an approach that has earned national recognition and the lasting trust of clients across Ireland.

Ireland’s healthcare system can seem complex, but the Health Insurance Shop can provide you with health insurance quotes and help you to decide whether or not private health insurance is right for you.
