The Irish Pharmacy Union is claiming the HSE is discriminating against women with medical cards, when it comes to accessing the "morning-after pill".
Pharmacies have been allowed to supply the "morning after pill" without a prescription since 2011.
But women with medical cards still have to get a GP prescription in order to get the medicine free-of-charge.
The IPU conference today passed a motion calling for the pill to be made available to medical card holders directly from pharmacies.
