Boots to offer morning-after pill without prescription
Pharmacists at Boots in Ireland will provide emergency contraception to the public from Wednesday without a presciption.
The morning-after pill will be provided after consultation with the pharmacist in a private consultation room.
Emergency contraception has been licensed for use in Ireland since late 2001. However, until now, women required a doctor's prescription.
The service will be available in all Boots pharmacies around the country.
