IVF PETITION:

Infertility affects one in six couples and affects men and women equally.  Ireland remains the only EU country not to offer state funding for assisted reproduction even though the World Health Organisation recognises infertility as a medical condition.  Those in need of IVF in Ireland find themselves having to pay between €6,000 and €10,000 per cycle.

We are behind other developed countries when it comes to the provision of fertility treatment and this is causing huge financial and emotional strain on couples going through infertility.

Myself and my colleague Senator Fiona O’Loughlin have called on the Government to immediately follow through on its commitment in the program for Government and roll out Free IVF in a timely manner.  If you support the rollout of publicly funded IVF treatment, please sign this petition, and show your support.
