Condom campaign causes shock waves

A NEW radio station has provoked shock waves over the airwaves through a new sexual health campaign which involves distributing 30,000 condoms in night clubs.

The condoms are to be distributed throughout the South-East by BEAT 102-103, Ireland's first regional radio station. It's part of the station's sexual health awareness campaign aimed at promoting sexual responsibility amongst young people in the region.

But one parents group has already said that studies show that safe sex isn't safe anymore. The Congress of Catholic Secondary Schools Parents Association drew attention to a study from Nottingham University in the UK, which shows that making condoms more available ultimately leads to an increase in sexually transmitted disease and infection, and more crisis pregnancies.
