Retailer Lidl Ireland says it is to offer free period products in its stores nationwide to women and girls affected by period poverty.
This is being done in partnership with Homeless Period Ireland and The Simon Communities.
It means people will be able to claim a dedicated coupon for a free box of sanitary pads or tampons per customer each month through the Lidl Plus app.
Starting April 19th, Lidl says those looking to get urgent access to period products can download the app and sign up.
They will receive a free monthly coupon starting on May 3rd, and then ongoing on a monthly basis.
