This website explains how to get free contraception in Ireland through the HSE Free Contraception Scheme. It lists the types of contraception available and explains what is covered under the scheme -not only the contraceptive itself, but also GP visits, check-ups, and prescriptions related to contraception.

The Free Contraception Scheme is for people aged 17 to 35 who live in Ireland and have a PPS number. Free contraception is available to women, girls, trans and non-binary people who need prescription or emergency contraception.

You can talk to your GP or visit a local sexual health clinic to find the best option for your needs. To use the scheme, you’ll need to give your PPS number, name, date of birth, and address.

Condoms are not included in this scheme but are widely distributed for free – spunout.ie has an extensive list of distributors.

Debunking the Myths we provide adolescents with resources about contraceptives because it equips them with the knowledge to make responsible and informed decisions about their sexual health. Understanding different contraceptive methods, such as the pill, intrauterine devices (IUDs), and others, empowers adolescents to prevent unintended pregnancies. By promoting comprehensive knowledge about contraceptives, teens can take charge of their reproductive health, communicate effectively with partners, and engage in consensual and be responsible for their own safe sexual practices.
