Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation
Dail Éireann — 2022-02-17
============================================================

Eamon Ryan (GP), Dublin Bay South

We have a Constitution and laws that are based on it, with certain protected rights, unlike others that I will not mention.
This is a living issue and an immediate concern for people. There has to be a balance between the right to protest and to people being protected. The Government is committed to delivering the zones. My understanding from the Attorney General's legal advice is that this is not an insurmountable problem. We will be able to square that circle and provide the measures. I will pass the Deputy's question on to the Minister, Deputy Stephen Donnelly, to see if he can speak with Deputy Costello directly. We need to resolve it under the Constitution of the Irish Republic.
