6.2.1 - Contraception

There are no laws against any form of contraception in the Republic of Ireland, apart from the RU-486 abortion pill that is also banned in the UK. For example ten years ago condoms weren't available to under anybody under 16. Now, possibly as a result of AIDS, these laws have all been repealed. Condom machines are also commonplace in most bars throughout the country.
