Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

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

Mr. Muiris O'Connor:

That is very much the intention of head 6, which extends well beyond the safe access zone and is intended to cover the harassment and intimidation of medical and healthcare staff whether it is at their homes or anywhere else in connection with the termination of pregnancy services. We will continue to work with the Attorney General and An Garda Síochána to get the wording of that right. That is our intention and we are confident of our ability to deliver on that aspect.
