The important concept here is TEMPORARY, this means that if you intend to stay for more than 90 days is Spain, you should, by law, become a resident and are no longer entitled to use the UK’s EHIC.
This is from https://www.citizensadvice.org.es/what-does-the-european-health-insurance-card-ehic-cover/
This also applies to the Irish EHIC. Legally all foreigners, EU or not, have to apply for residency within 90 days and to qualify you have to have private medical insurance.

In case your first sentence is misconstrued, being eligible still means applying for residency within the first 90 days only under less onerous terms.
Irish citizens Do Not need private medical insurance .Listen to the Citizens advice B. Or Irish consul in Alicant .They will send you a list of what you need . These answers are incorrect .
Best of luck

Simply put, EU citizens not qualifying by other criteria are not exempted from having to register at 90 days. They should register at their nearest Policia Extranjeros office and apply for residency. The fact that a blind eye has often been turned in the past doesn't alter the law.
Break it at your own risk.
