A Kilkee man who’s part of a steering committee aiming to outlaw conversion therapy says Government may only get one chance to ban the practice.
It comes as the Department of Children has decided to further research how widespread the practice is in Ireland before banning it.
Conversion therapy is defined as any form of psychological intervention which aims to change a person’s sexual orientation.
Kilkee man Mike Taylor, who’s on the Steering Committee for Anti-Conversion Therapy Coalition, says it’s important legislators take time to ensure any new law is adequate.
