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:

Not from the Garda on the process, but we engaged with the HSE. It receives orally through the clinical advisory forum many reports of this type of process. In January 2022, there were protests outside the medical centre in Dodder Park. There were protests in Dún Laoghaire and Milltown in March and in Goatstown in July. I do not want to take up too much of the committee's time on this.
