Pornography, consent and gender stereotyping will soon become part of the Junior Cycle curriculum.
It follows a review conducted by the Department of Education which found it was 'heavily concerned' with aspects of Ireland's relationships and sexuality programme.

Anne Scully from the Waterford Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre discussed the plans with Maria McCann on WLR's Deise Today.
Every school irrespective of their ethos will have to deliver the revamped version of the subject.
Anne has been among those to welcome the proposals.
