Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 27 April 2023
226. Deputy Paul Kehoe asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform if he will provide a breakdown of funding on period poverty measures that goes towards each Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20103/23]
View answerPeriod 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.
