As part of its 50th anniversary celebrations, the Limerick Family Planning Clinic held a powerful and thought-provoking public meeting on the 20th of May at the Absolute Hotel, Limerick.

The evening brought together a panel of dynamic speakers—activists, healthcare professionals, and community voices—who reflected on the clinic’s groundbreaking work over the past five decades. From the early days of resistance and legal challenges to present-day advocacy for reproductive rights and healthcare access, the discussion highlighted the courage and determination of those who shaped a more progressive and compassionate Ireland.

Audience members were invited into a space of reflection, gratitude, and renewed commitment to the values of autonomy, dignity, and equity in healthcare. The event served not only as a tribute to the past but also as a call to continue the work for a fairer future.

It was an inspiring evening of solidarity, shared stories, and celebration
