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:
We have met the Garda. On 16 December we had a lengthy meeting with its representatives to go through their submissions and how they see these matters being fixed. We reverted to counsel. We are in ongoing contact with the Garda via email, not just regarding the submission but also small operational aspects of the Bill. The most recent contact we had with the Garda via email was earlier this week.
