Birr is a Georgian town known for Birr Castle, in Co. Offaly.

Whether you are in Birr or elsewhere in Co. Offaly — Tullamore included — you can book the same online GP service.

Online prescriptions in Birr: what to expect

You cannot simply order a prescription online — a doctor has to assess you first. With DrCall you book a short video or phone consultation from Birr, discuss the medication and your health with an Irish-registered GP, and, where the doctor considers it safe and appropriate, a prescription is issued.

Some medicines cannot be prescribed through DrCall at all: benzodiazepines, Z-drugs, opioids and stimulants are never prescribed.
