Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services) (Safe Access Zones) Bill 2023: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2024-02-27
============================================================

Rónán Mullen (IND), National University of Ireland

It should be borne in mind that Senator Gavan is responding to the issues I raised in support of my amendment so I have to answer that. As I said, there is nothing objectionable about preventing conduct that is likely to obstruct or impede, or having the intent to obstruct or impede, another person. The problem is section 2(2) because the threshold is very low.
