Senator Keogan mentioned that people will no longer be allowed to stand silently. Senator Mullen said there is no issue and nothing is happening in Cork. I have in my hand a tweet from Senator Mullen that reads, "I encourage people in Ballinasloe and the surrounding area ... to engage with medical and other staff ... to discourage the practice of abortion and to never let up". That is a tweet. We know the damage that social media does and we now have a Senator on social media encouraging people to stop and interfere with staff in their lawful carrying out of services in this country. It is an absolute outrage-----
