The Irish government has re-committed to outlawing so-called conversion therapy following the publication of its National LGBTIQ+ Inclusion Strategy II.
The coalition has promised to ensure a ‘conversion practices’ ban is operational before the end of 2026. The previous version of the Strategy also supported a ban.
Details contained within the 38-page plan have left critics concerned that legitimate activities and freedom of speech – including that of professional comedians – could be put at risk.
