Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
General Scheme of the Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services (Safe Access Zones)) Bill 2022: An Garda Síochána
Martin Conway (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
On the safe access zones in general, the only parallel that exists is the 50 m rule applying to canvassing and intimidation at polling stations. The Garda seems to have dealt with this very effectively.
Clearly, the Garda has concerns about being able to implement what is being proposed here. The four-E approach that is proposed has worked in the context of many laws and not just Covid regulations. Is it serious concern or is it simply identifying issues? Is there a serious feeling that the Garda may not be able to implement it?
