Who is telling you you need an S1?
An S1 is only of use if you are resident and to qualify for it you need to be drawing a pension.
If you are resident then you cannot use an EHIC in Spain.
I think we need a bit more flesh on the bone.

You need to contact the Health & Safety Executive, Overseas Section in Ireland to request form S1. Telephone 01 620 1816:

The following link will take you to Age In Spain and will guide you through the process of registering the form online. This is much better than making face to face appointments. Where UK is quoted you can read as Irish:
