Emergency contraception demand at IFPA clinics shows 25% increase

DEMAND for emergency contraception at Irish Family Planning Association (IFPA) clinics has gone up by 25% this Christmas holiday period.

And in the coming days the IFPA expects the demand for the service will increase even further as Christmas celebrations get into full swing.

“During the partying season people should think twice before engaging in casual, unprotected sex. They should use a condom,” said the IFPA’s chief executive Catherine Heaney.
