Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
General Scheme of the Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services (Safe Access Zones)) Bill 2022: An Garda Síochána
Dr. Michael McNamara:
This has been raised with the Department and it has identified this issue itself, following consultation with the Attorney General. The other issue with the caution and it being applicable to other parts of the country is that if it has been dealt with in the first instance, it is arguable that caution is spent. We would therefore not be in a position to act upon it in a second location, even if it was the second time at the same location.
