Until the last few years of the 1990s Ireland had the reputation of being the most sexually repressed country in Europe, where women were second class citizens and the Catholic church ruled virtually unchallenged. But things have changed fast. A national survey in 1973-1974 found that three out of four people thought sex outside marriage was always wrong. A survey in 1997 found that 21 to 24 year olds had, on average, had 13 different sexual partners.1 In 1990 Dublin's Virgin Megastore was fined £500 for selling condoms. In 1999 the Dublin government spent £500,000 promoting the use of condoms.2 While Gordon Brown felt it necessary to get married to enhance his chances of becoming prime minister in Britain, the Irish taoiseach (prime minister), Bertie Ahern, lives openly with his (unmarried) partner who accompanies him on state visits as 'first lady'. read full story / add a comment

I spotted this article on the Press Association newswire. The author's name was not included. And before Ray goes for the jugular, I couldn't find any mention of the story on PA's website (www.ananova.com)... The story is pretty watered down by PA's refusal to use language critical of Israel, but the facts are intact. read full story / add a comment
