MOTION: Councillor M. Ward

South Dublin Council recognises that period poverty is a very real issue for women in low income households and are committed to breaking down the stigma and tackling period poverty. This Council instructs the Chief Executive to have free sanitary products available in the toilets of County Hall as a pilot project and to engage with the students of the National College of Art and Design who are currently developing a sanitary product vending machine.

REPORT:

If this Motion is passed, existing pilot schemes will be examined and a proposal for Members to consider will be made.
