White House says Trump is reviewing IVF policy recommendations promised in executive order

The Irish government has yet to expand free IVF access to couples with children despite an October 2024 budget pledge to change eligibility criteria.
Officials continue consultations with health and fertility specialists before implementing changes, and no commencement date was announced in October’s budget.
Many couples, including Eilbhe and Lee Kennedy from Kildare, face long waits and initial ineligibility under the current scheme due to having one child already.
The government allocated €35 million last year for IVF and hormone therapy, but funding delays and eligibility rules have frustrated affected families like the Kennedys, who spent £15,000 on treatments.
The IVF scheme is now scheduled to start expanding from June 1, 2025, potentially covering secondary infertility and donor-assisted cases, though families still struggle with current access and costs.
