Competing Interests

I have read the journal's policy and the authors of this manuscript have the following competing interests: DNC and BM are employees of Trócaire, and GS is an independent consultant employed by Trócaire. Although Trócaire funded the study, beyond the stated involvement of DNC, BM and GS, the organisation did not take part in study design; collection, analysis, and interpretation of data; writing of the paper; or decision to submit for publication. This does not alter our adherence to PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials, with the sole restriction that qualitative data used in this study was derived from confidential interviews and focus groups, therefore in line with the personal nature of these discussions, and the terms of informed consent to which participants agreed, the full transcripts have not been made available. Illustrative anonymised verbatim quotes have been included in this manuscript where necessary to support the findings of the analysis.
