Sinn Féin - On Your Side

Brogan - Welcomes passing of legislation to tackle period poverty


Sinn Féin MLA Nicola Brogan has welcomed legislation passed today in the Assembly to make period products free in schools and public buildings.

The West Tyrone MLA said:

“I’m pleased that a bill has passed to make period products free in schools and public buildings.

“Period products are essential; they are not a luxury.

“People are struggling with the rising cost of living and the cost of period products can place a huge financial burden on them. This will keep money in people's pockets.

“Today is a good day and another example of parties working together to deliver real change for people.”
