25 Countries With the Lowest Circumcision Rates

4. Ireland

Only about 0.93% of males are circumcised in Ireland. According to Circumcision Dublin, the procedure is usually considered an embarrassment. The procedure is permitted, mainly for religious and cultural reasons, though it is uncommon.

Medical circumcisions are done when necessary for health reasons. The practice is generally less prevalent compared to other countries, reflecting broader European attitudes towards maintaining natural anatomy unless circumcision is medically required. There have been discussions and debates about the practice, but no official legislation banning it has been enacted.
