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 zone would be 100 m from that interface with the public space. On the Garda involvement, from early on we got great support from the Department of Justice and from An Garda Síochána. Their input was practical and helpful in exactly the kinds of areas the Deputy has spoken about for the curtilage and the extent to which we can rely on people to understand that. Gardaí warning and informing people that they are breaching the law and that they are in a zone will also be important.
