Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
General Scheme of the Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services (Safe Access Zones)) Bill 2022: Department of Health (Resumed)
Ms Caitriona Mason:
No, not as we interpret it. We are taking that on board in relation to our Bill because that is the only Bill we are dealing with.
We interpreted it as it looking for a more streamlined approach - this power relates to this offending behaviour - and that it was more of a drafting style. We have engaged with the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel to the Government, OPC. Insofar as it is possible to do that, it will be done.
