Mr. Tiernan Brady:

Education is always at the heart of it. We are building people's capacity to make the best decisions for themselves. Given the information, people have phenomenal capacity to make the right decisions on harm reduction and on the best possible health outcomes for themselves. They cannot do that in the absence of information and education. If they do not know the circumstances, they will be making those decisions anyway but without the facts and, as a result, will be putting themselves in a position of greater risk. Education could be targeted at adult populations who have missed the boat on this because it was not on the curriculum previously, or adopted at curriculum level so that we can provide inclusive sexual education, knowing the hugely positive impact it will have on people's capacity to make independent, good decisions for themselves.
