Mr. Tiernan Brady:

All three of us will have different answers because we are missing quite a few things. Education is something we are missing. We are not building people's capacity or giving them the equipment they need to make the right decisions. They are making the decisions anyway. As we found out over centuries, no one is going to decide not to have a sex life. People will have sex lives. The question is what information they have at their disposal to make the best decisions for themselves. When people have the right information, it creates the capacity to reduce risk and leads to better health outcomes and a happier life. It is better for the individual to have a healthy sex life as well. I am sure Ms Seery and Mr. Mulligan will have other bits to add to that, but I would say education is the point at which we allow people to take control of their own lives.

On one other point, I was not expecting a question on "Emmerdale" when I was preparing for this meeting.
