Ireland to follow France in offering free contraception to women under 25 (CNA)

“The French government introduced the measure on Jan. 1, while the Irish authorities have promised to make contraception free for women aged between 17 and 25 years from August,” according to the report.

The National Women’s Council of Ireland has characterized free contraception for women under 25 as a “really welcome development that gives us a foundation on which to build. Universal contraception is something we’ve been campaigning for, for a long time.”
