A motion calling on Cork County Council to recognise period poverty as a real issue for women and to provide free sanitary products in public toilets was passed unanimously at Monday's online meeting of the local authority. Despite that the motion proposed by Cllr Gobnait Moynihan was passed 26-0, with just one absentention on International Women's Day, there doesn't seem to be any likelihood of early movement from the council to implement the terms of the motion. In a response from the Council's Director of Services Niall Healy, it was suggested that a decision from a Government committee considering the issue be awaited.
