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:
I refer to section 147(3), which states that it "shall be measured from any entrance to the polling station or to the curtilage thereof". My understanding from my meeting with the Department of Justice on Monday is that it is looking at this now with a view to changing it to the exit point or entrance point to address the uncertainty around what the curtilage actually means.
