Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
General Scheme of the Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services (Safe Access Zones)) Bill 2022: Discussion
Colm Burke (Cork North Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I thank our guests for the presentations this morning. I want to address the safe access zones and the legal definition. Would the Department not agree that there could be a scenario in prosecutions where ten different judges could each come to a different conclusion? Is the Department satisfied that the legal definition is adequately set out so that decisive action can be taken against a person who is making it awkward for people who are attending a particular clinic and who is infringing on people's right to attend the service?
