Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
General Scheme of the Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services (Safe Access Zones)) Bill 2022: Discussion
Mr. Muiris O'Connor:
I thank the Deputy for her questions. She is correct about where we are at on the detail of enforcement, the reality of enforcement, the perimeters of the zone, and the merits of the term "curtilage" in this instance. She is also correct about the old facilities with the gate and the drive in and so forth. On the issue of finding a specific point of entry or exit, it is the entry and exit onto the public space. Our latest thinking in the old-school gated premises is that it is the gate. The interface with the public space is the access point.
