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:

There are some small outstanding issues about Garda powers. The question of additional powers for search and seizure, particularly of electronic equipment was raised by the committee earlier this morning. As part of the current draft, that has gone back to the OPC which is aware of the issue. I assume that the OPC is working on it.
