To correct the record, I am not taking offence in that manner. I would like the PULSE system to be changed to call it something other than a pro-life protest because I do not think it is fair to us. I want to talk about the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act. I do not know from her submission whether Ms McMahon thinks An Garda Síochána needs more powers to search and go into people's homes or whatever. I am not clear about that. Perhaps she could elaborate. Under the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act, however, does Ms McMahon think it would be possible to bring in legislation for safe access zones that amends the public order Act to include the 100 m limit outside healthcare facilities? That is probably a question for Ms Mulkerrins as the legal adviser. Is it possible to bring that in an amendment to the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act to include the 100 m limit outside providers of abortion care at the same time as we bring in this legislation?
