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:

I take the point and that is probably why it was not in the original general scheme. From the Garda's perspective, it is anxious not to proceed with cases it would feel it would have a difficulty prosecuting, such as where a person is two centimetres over the 100 metres, for example, and whether it can proceed. We will wait and see what the DPP has to say about it.
