Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (9 Nov 2022)

David Cullinane: I wish to be associated with the warm welcome of the funding for the North Quays in Waterford. It is a great day for Waterford. Well done to all involved. I raise the issue of spinal surgeries for children with scoliosis and spina bifida. The Minister earlier this year presented a plan which, in fairness, was a collaboration of working with the hospitals, but also with the Opposition....

Long Covid Health Services: Motion [Private Members] (9 Nov 2022)

David Cullinane: I am sharing time with colleagues. Sinn Féin will support this motion on long Covid. I thank its authors, the Regional Group, and its proposer, Deputy Naughten, for the work he has done in this area over the past number of months. This is an area that the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Health has dealt with on a number of occasions. A number of very important witnesses have...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services (Safe Access Zones)) Bill 2022: An Garda Síochána (9 Nov 2022)

David Cullinane: I welcome the deputy commissioner and her team. I will begin with a general question. Have members of An Garda Síochána had to respond to any complaints made of harassment and intimidation, even in the absence of legislation?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services (Safe Access Zones)) Bill 2022: An Garda Síochána (9 Nov 2022)

David Cullinane: Turning to the areas of concern in the opening statement, the first is the parameters of the safe access zones. I want to tease that out to see if it is more to do with definitions of what the parameters are or the practicality of actually policing this. Looking at the draft heads of Bill, it seems to have definitions for safe zones, healthcare premises, healthcare provider, curtilage and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services (Safe Access Zones)) Bill 2022: An Garda Síochána (9 Nov 2022)

David Cullinane: Is that more from the perspective of an individual premises and where one interprets what is the zone?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services (Safe Access Zones)) Bill 2022: An Garda Síochána (9 Nov 2022)

David Cullinane: Even though there are precise definitions, the Garda has to work that out for each particular centre. So, for instance where GP surgeries might not be in stand-alone facilities. Is that the concern?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services (Safe Access Zones)) Bill 2022: An Garda Síochána (9 Nov 2022)

David Cullinane: Can anything be done to enhance the Bill on that or is it just one of those practical things the Garda will have to manage?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services (Safe Access Zones)) Bill 2022: An Garda Síochána (9 Nov 2022)

David Cullinane: The second issue that was raised was that of warnings. I hear what is being said here from a practical perspective that if someone is issued a warning in zone A and then turns up at zone B, a different healthcare facility, how is that monitored? How would it work if there is was a previous warning or caution, whatever terminology we use, or one from a different healthcare setting? Ms...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services (Safe Access Zones)) Bill 2022: An Garda Síochána (9 Nov 2022)

David Cullinane: My question is whether it is possible to keep records of warnings. I imagine that if there were a record of warnings, it would be much easier, from a policing perspective, to manage serial offenders in multiple locations. In the absence of record-keeping, people could just move on from one healthcare facility to another, getting warnings in each one, and the Garda would not really be able...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services (Safe Access Zones)) Bill 2022: An Garda Síochána (9 Nov 2022)

David Cullinane: Is it not stated in the proposed Bill that they are obliged to give their names?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services (Safe Access Zones)) Bill 2022: An Garda Síochána (9 Nov 2022)

David Cullinane: They have to give their names and addresses. Let us just imagine they do so and are given a warning. My question is fairly straightforward. Can a record be kept? I am not asking whether the proposed Bill suggests it should be or whether that is the witnesses' view. I am asking whether, legally, it can be done.
