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 Deputy hit the nail on the head. It is about balancing the instinct to broadly prohibit harassment against the operation and implementability of it. I think that as we refine the Bill we will be increasingly specific as regards the conduct that is prohibited within the zones. We will not be going broader. We will be quite specific. We will be working with An Garda Síochána to be reassured that they are specifics that will help the Garda in the implementation.
