Dublin GAA superstar Carla Rowe has praised Lidl s period poverty initiative and has spoken about its importance in a sporting context.
Yesterday, Lidl Ireland announced that they are to become the first major retailer in the world to offer free period products in stores nationwide, reports Dublin Live.
The new initiative is in partnership with Homeless Period Ireland and The Simon Communities of Ireland and from 19 April, online coupons will be available each month for a free box of sanitary pads or tampons.
They have also committed to donate these products to The Simon Communities to ensure that those who may not have access to a smartphone can access these essential products.

Dublin GAA quiz
Dublin won an eight All-Ireland title in ten years after defeating James Horan’s Mayo once again.
The win meant they sealed the six-in-a-row and there seems to be no end in sight for this incredible team.
While some players – like Brian Fenton – have been involved for all six of those All-Ireland in succession, seven stalwarts have been there since 2011 and have eight medals.
GPA in search for new CEO
February 20, 2021
The Gaelic Players Association are on the hunt for a new chief-executive officer.
Paul Flynn announced his intention to stand down from the role later this year, with the Dublin All-Ireland winner set to take on a new opportunity in another business sector.
The Fingallians clubman has held the position since June 2018 and oversaw the merger of the two players’ bodies - the Gaelic Players Association (GPA) and the Women’s Gaelic Players Association (WGPA) - into one 4,000-strong players body.
The board of the GPA have now commenced a recruitment process to select Flynn s successor, with a drive and vision to lead the organisation through an exciting next phase of development.
