The second issue that was raised was that of warnings. I hear what is being said here from a practical perspective that if someone is issued a warning in zone A and then turns up at zone B, a different healthcare facility, how is that monitored? How would it work if there is was a previous warning or caution, whatever terminology we use, or one from a different healthcare setting? Ms McMahon stated that a fresh express warning in respect of each safe access zone would be more effective from a policing perspective.

Head 4(5) states: "A member of the Garda Síochána who believes, with reasonable cause, that a person has engaged, is engaging, or will engage in prohibited conduct may issue a warning to that person to cease engaging or not to engage in prohibited conduct." A paper prepared by the committee's secretariat makes the point that this may inevitably be required to maintain records. If someone is cautioned in relation to their behaviour, are records kept? Would records be kept of such a warning?
