Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

General Scheme of the Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services (Safe Access Zones)) Bill 2022: Discussion

Mr. Muiris O'Connor:

The types of input from the Garda were concerned with the implementability of the legislation and issues such as whether people could reasonably be presumed to understand the new legislation when it comes in to place or to know they are breaking the law. There is complexity around the term "curtilage", the perimeter of a facility and around it and operationally, whether someone could know he or she was 100 m from it.
