AppleCare is such a non-issue here in Norway. We have five years of "reklamasjon" (think of it as kind of a mandatory warranty). I wonder how electronics would have been built if this was a global thing.
Essentially the same applies in the UK and Ireland, when the EU warranty thing was brought in (2 years cover), nothing changed as the existing legislation in both states gave longer protection.
5 years in Scotland, 6 in England; I can't recall what Ireland has but believe it is in the same region 5-6.
However one has to know it exists, and argue the point with the supplier, and they will often try to push back.
Added: This is for the goods being of merchantable quality, not for accidental damage.
