Do you have children? The guidelines for FIS can be found here:

http://www.welfare.ie/EN/Schemes/BirthChildrenAndFamilies/ChildRelatedPayments/Pages/fis.aspx

As a guide, the income limit for 3 children on FIS is €703 and you're just over that on the figures you've supplied.

As your husband is employed full-time, you can't apply for MIS.

You can apply for a medical card, if it's refused you might be eligible for the GP visit card (the income limits are higher).

Here is a link to the current income guidelines for medical cards/GP visit cards

You can apply online at www.medicalcard.ie
