Period poverty is a priority for this Government, which has supported the roll-out of period dignity measures in Budgets 2022 and 2023.

The Department of Health also chairs an inter-Departmental Period Poverty Implementation Group with representation from most Government Departments, to co-ordinate implementation of period dignity measures across Government.

The funding of period poverty measures in each sector is a matter for the individual Government Departments concerned.
