The Fine Gael TD who criticised SpunOut.ie over its page about 'threesomes' says she will ask the Health Minister why it is being funded by the HSE.

Michele Mulherin says the page - which addresses the pros and cons of sexual relationships involving three people - is 'regressive' and that the HSE should spend €124,000 it receives in funding in other areas.

The website itself has defended its material, saying its providing responsible information requested by teenagers.

But Michelle Mulherin says the team behind SpunOut should be made to appear before an Oireachtas Committee.
