Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

General Scheme of the Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services (Safe Access Zones)) Bill 2022: Department of Health (Resumed)

Mr. Muiris O'Connor:

It does not cover what Senator Higgins raised about a relay and eight or ten people who are organised and who sequentially harass someone. We will talk to the Department of Justice and the Garda again about whether the harassment legislation that exists at the moment is sufficient and about the number of convictions that are achieved under it and so forth. As has been said, there are wider issues about protests at people's residences and so forth.
