The Department of Education has removed official class material which invited students to discuss "homophobic" statements.
The exercise asked junior cycle students to discuss statements such as "all gays are HIV positive" and "all gays molest children" as part of SPHE class.
The issue was brought to the attention of Fine Gael TD Jennifer Caroll MacNeill who wrote to the Minister of Education Norma Foley.
Deputy Carroll MacNeill says the material has been removed but she's disgusted it was available in the first place.
"Can you imagine being a 14-15 year old person asking questions about yourself, about your sexuality, not sure where you fit in, not sure where you are.
"Imagine being an LGBTI teacher and having that content.
"I'm not saying that teachers were using that material, but it was available to be used."
