Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution
Socioeconomic Context: Dr. Caitriona Henchion and Mr. Niall Behan, Irish Family Planning Association
1:30 pm
Dr. Caitriona Henchion:
The problem is that our education system is inconsistent in respect of sexual health. There are schools where it is done really well and schools where it is barely addressed at all. It sometimes happens a little bit too late, so the very vulnerable people who might leave education early are not getting access to such education at all. That is my view.
