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:

There is no definition of "curtilage" in any textbook, law or case law, so it is a loose term, which adds to the uncertainty. This matter formed part of my discussions. My understanding is that it is being reviewed, the word may be removed and the 100 m zone will be from the entrance or exit points. While this would not provide absolute clarity, it would be a major help.
