Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services) (Safe Access Zones) Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed)
Dail Éireann — 2023-07-11
============================================================

Bernard Durkan (FG), Kildare North

It is not and if the Deputy wants to read his history, go back to the 1930s in central Europe and read carefully what was said. Again and again it was spoken about and where did it lead? It led to conflagration of the most awful type ever known on the face of this earth. It is not true to say freedom of expression should come first or foremost and we can express hate of one another. Deputy Tóibín mentioned hate. Hate speech is an appalling thing.
