  • In Ireland, you can purchase condoms at pharmacies, supermarkets, GUM clinics and at vending machines (found in pubs and nightclubs). They can also be found at student unions and health centers, where they're often free. In Dublin, you can get free condoms at HIV Ireland (70 Eccles St., Dublin 7) or, if you're a man who has sex with men, you can get them from the Man2Man Programme (they have locations in Outhouse, Pantibar and The George).

  • In Ireland, you need a prescription for birth control pills. To do this, you should go to a GP (General Practitioner). If you need advice, you can get a contraceptive consultation at IFPA for €55.00. Once you have a prescription, you can find both combined (estrogen-progestin) and progestin-only (also known as "mini pills") birth control. You can expect to see brands like Yasmin, Ovranette, Ovranette 30, Microlite, Miranova, Microgynon, Cerazette, Cilest, Femodene, Mercilon, Marviol and Minulet at pharmacies.

  • If you want a vaginal ring (Nuvaring), it's been available in Ireland since 2003, which is when it was approved by the IFPA.[1]
  • If you want an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS), you can get it at your GP surgery, genito-urinary (GUM) clinic or sexual health clinic. For example, you can get it at The Well Woman Centre, where you can get the Mirena and Jadelle.
  • If you want a contraceptive injection (Depo-Provera),you can get it at your GP surgery, genito-urinary (GUM) clinic or sexual health clinic. While Depo-Provera is the most common type of injectable, there may be other types of injectables in Ireland.
  • If you want a contraceptive implant (Implanon), you can get it at your GP surgery, genito-urinary (GUM) clinic or sexual health clinic. Currently, Implanon is the only contraceptive implant used in Ireland, according to Health Service Executive.[2]
  • If you want the contraceptive patch, you can get it from your GP, local family planning clinic or sexual health (GUM) clinic.
