Lesbian sex still isn't mentioned in the law! I must admit I started out searching for information about Ireland quite prejudiced. My picture of Ireland as a deeply Catholic country, almost entirely run by a church from the Dark Ages seems to be quite wrong. A lot has happened on the Emerald Isle during the past few years. Several gay venues have popped up in the cities and there are several active glb organizations.   If you have any further information on the current situation in Ireland, please contact me.    Age of consent Male-Female Male-Male Female-Female Ireland 17 17 17 Viewing adult material in Ireland is illegal.
