At present, the Free Contraception Scheme is open to women aged 17-30. From 1 January 2024, the scheme will be extended to 31-year-olds, meaning that, women will now be eligible for free contraception under the scheme from their 17th birthday until the day before their 32nd birthday. This legislation was signed by the Minister for Health, Stephen Donnelly TD, on 13 December 2023 and can be found here.
