Period Products (the Department for the Economy Specified Public Service Bodies) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2024

The Period Products (Free Provision) Act (Northern Ireland) 2022, which received Royal Assent on 12 May 2022, provides for period products to be made available free of charge by all persons who need to use them. 

The Act provides that products must be available free of charge on these premises from 12 May 2024.

We carried out a consultation, by way of a short survey, with users of the Tribunals between the period 1 November 2023 to 31 March 2024. That survey asked for opinions on the following:

i. What type of different products do you feel should be made available free of charge? E.g. Tampons; Sanitary Towels; Reusable items; 

ii. Where should the products be made available?;

iii. How should users access the products?; and

iv. How should the products, and their locations, be publicised?

Based on the responses received, a variety of period products will be made available in designated toilets on each floor in Killymeal House. A notice will be placed on the toilet doors to alert individuals to the availability of the products. A notice will also be placed in the waiting areas.
