I was once quite astounded about vending machines.

In the UK - condom dispensors are in every theatre and pub and restaurant MALE (I don't know about the female varient) RESTROOM/Loo.

In the USA theatre RESTROOM/head/john there are dispensors for "head-ache" medications and mouth-mints....and non-such in restaurants.

Perhaps, there is something to the USA cliche of "Not tonight...I have headache."

I have not been aware about Ireland's condition - although I have frequented similar venues.
