A medical card will no longer entitle women to two specialised bras after undergoing mastectomies.
"If we have a wound, we change the bandage"
A government cut to the allowance given to women who underwent mastectomies is having an immediate negative impact, according to Aontú.
They were originally entitled to two specialised bras and a swimming prosthesis each year under the medical card.
However, that has now been cut down to just one bra per person.
Aontú candidate for Mullingar Kinnegad, Laura O'Neill says these are not luxury products or optional extras:
