If you are between 45 and 60 years,you are entitled to a smear every five years.

If you are under 25, over 60 year of age or would like an additional test there will be a charge (€65 to €170 depending on how quickly you want your results)

The ideal time to have a smear test is midcycle i.e. 10 days to 2 weeks after the first day of your last period (unless you no longer are having periods or have a mirena coil fitted, in which case you can book anytime).
