Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Working Group on Access to Contraception: Discussion

Ms Maeve O'Brien:

Absolutely. We launched sexualwellbeing.iein 2018, which contains comprehensive information on all the different types of contraception available. We also have a digital strategy that targets young adults via Facebook and Twitter to ensure that the information is digitally available, and work with the National Youth Council of Ireland and Foróige, the latter which delivers the REAL U training and workshops on the development of RSE policies, as well as providing training on pornography.

We work in three areas, namely, schools, youth work settings and parents, while information for the adult population is available on our website.
